Another round of mailbag questions rolled in this week, focused on Wisconsin men’s basketball, and they reflect a fanbase trying to make sense of a team that feels close to something, but isn’t quite there yet.
This mailbag digs into what it meant for Wisconsin to burn Zach Kinziger’s redshirt, and whether that decision signals a sense of urgency or long-term planning. We also look at Hayden Jones and whether his recent play is earning him a permanent spot in the rotation once everyone is healthy.
From there, the conversation shifts to the offense, specifically how sustainable it is to lean so heavily on the scoring of Nick Boyd, John Blackwell, and Nolan Winter, and what Wisconsin still needs from the rest of the roster to make that approach work in Big Ten play.
