Wakeup Call

UWBadgers.com Senior Writer

MADISON, Wis.Nigel Hayes was asked about his sleep habits, an odd request, for sure. But it will make more sense in the context of what's next for a Wisconsin basketball program that made 'em believe.

"Six to seven hours a night," replied Hayes who then opined, "I think Einstein, Edison and those guys got like four. And you see what they did with their lives, so maybe I'm sleeping too much."

Just don't sleep on Hayes. That's something opposing players and NCAA tournament stenographers learned about the ebullient junior forward and 20-year-old logophile from Toledo, Ohio.
