Previewing Wisconsin’s bigs entering the 2018–19 season

The Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball program has a long, storied history of great post play. From Mike Wilkinson, Brian Butch, and Jon Leuer to more recent All-Big Ten centers Jared Berggren and Frank Kaminsky, Wisconsin’s patented swing offense relies heavily on versatile post players.

The 2018–19 Wisconsin team will be no different, as preseason All-American Ethan Happ returns and will be the focal point of Greg Gard’s offense. The Badgers also return two seniors looking for bounce-back seasons in Charles Thomas and Alex Illikainen, as well as talented sophomore Nate Reuvers.
