MADISON, Wis. -- Former Wisconsin player and assistant coach Howard Moore received a standing ovation in his first public appearance at the Kohl Center since a 2019 car wreck that killed his wife and daughter and left him with serious injuries.

Wisconsin honored Moore's family during a ceremony before the Badgers' game Saturday afternoon against No. 13 Illinois. Moore made a surprise appearance as he was wheeled to midcourt by former teammate Rashard Griffith after a video tribute aired on the scoreboard.

"You can see that he's a fighter," said Tracy Webster, Moore's former Wisconsin teammate.
