Stanford will kick off their Battle 4 Atlantis slate today at 11 AM PT against the 25th ranked Wisconsin. The Badgers enter the matchup 3-0, including a big win over Xavier. They are led by All-American Ethan Happ, but have had great play from a number of players so far this year. To get to know them a bit better I spoke with Jake Kocorowski, who writes for Bucky’s 5th Quarter.

Your team appears to be a lot better than last year’s. Why’s that?

Two key injuries to Trice and King really hampered Wisconsin last season.
