Badgers hoping Markus Illver’s shooting can translate from practice to games

The Wisconsin Badgers made a switch in February, as they began to involve Markus Illver more as the team’s primary backup power forward over Carter Gilmore, looking to repay the 6’10 shooter for his hard work in practice.

While Gilmore has still seen minutes at times, Illver has taken on a bigger role, which carried over to March, where the latter has been the only backup power forward to play in the last two games.

Illver provides a shooting threat for the Badgers, which is something different than Gilmore’s skillset, but the former has struggled with his shot, shooting just 34.
