Wisconsin men’s basketball: a look at the impact of UW’s senior class

A great deal of discourse has been tweeted, shouted and texted about the 2020-2021 Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team not living up to lofty preseason expectations so far this year.

The Badgers entered the season as a consensus top-10 team with aspirations of making a push for a B1G title and a deep run in the NCAA Tournament. With seven seniors back, the hopes seemed highly plausible given the stellar end to the year the group had the season before.

With only the NCAA Tournament left in these seniors’ careers, assuming that they do not exercise the ability to come back for another season due to a one-time COVID-19 waiver, their collective time in Madison together is drawing to an end.
