Wisconsin men’s basketball: Johnny Davis named to Wooden Award watch list

It is kind of wild to think about where Johnny Davis is this season. At the beginning of the season I think everyone agreed that Davis was going to be better than he was last year and have improved stats. No one, except maybe his parents, thought that Davis was going to have this kind of season.

Currently the third leading scorer in the whole country, Davis has been named to the John R. Wooden Award Midseason Top-25. The list, comprised of 25 players who are front-runners for the sport’s most prestigious honor, was determined by a poll of national college basketball experts based on the performances during the 2021-22 season thus far.
