    Season Notes[edit]

    Jordan Taylor was Wisconsin's lone senior in their regular rotation, although fellow senior Rob Wilson earned a significant increase in postseason playing time following his shocking 30 point outburst in the Big Ten tournament. Ryan Evans and Jared Berggren were second and third in team scoring, 11.0 ppg and 10.5 ppg, respectively. Josh Gasser, Ben Brust, and Mike Bruesewitz were also key contributors.

    There was a 3-way tie for the Big Ten regular season title with Michigan St, Michigan, and Ohio St all finishing 13-5. Wisconsin alone in 4th at 12-6.

    Losing to Syracuse in the Sweet 16 in a close game, 63-64. Wisconsin had the ball in their leader's hands at the end of the game. But Jordan Taylor's 3-pointer at the buzzer came up empty.
