Bo Ryan Cements His Unforgettable Legacy at Wisconsin by Going out on His Terms

I wish I could say I remember it like it was yesterday. The truth is—probably because there's so little good to remember—it's more like a blur.

There were 60 wins and 62 losses overall. There was a truly ignoble Big Ten mark of 24-48. That's how Wisconsin's basketball program fared during my four years as a student at the school, from 1988-92.

Yet would you believe that four-season stretch was pretty much wildly successful by Wisconsin standards at the time? It included a pair of 8-10 records in Big Ten play, the best for the Badgers since the league went to an 18-game schedule in 1974-75.
