The Wisconsin Badgers seemed like an early hit to exceed expectations in the Big Ten after an 11-2 start to the season, which oversaw strong starts from Tyler Wahl and Chucky Hepburn, propelling the team to one of the conference’s best at the time.
However, as conference play began, the Badgers began to spiral, especially after the team lost Tyler Wahl and Max Klesmit on separate occasions to injuries.
Wisconsin ended the season with a 17-14 record, including 9-11 in conference play, missing out on the NCAA tournament for just the second time since 1998.
