On Tuesday night, longtime Wisconsin men’s basketball coach Bo Ryan surprised the nation by announcing that he was retiring, effective immediately. This move presumably comes so Ryan’s longtime assistant, Greg Gard, gets a fair chance at the job (This is not unlike what Jim Calhoun did when he retired at Connecticut. His assistant, Kevin Ollie, won the NCAA title that year). In his time in Madison, Ryan owned the Hoosiers. He finishes with an 19-4 record against Indiana, including zero defeats at home.
In honor of the Badger headmaster, let’s take a look at the four best games between Wisconsin and Indiana during Ryan’s tenure, in chronological order.
