The Wisconsin Badgers surged through the Big Ten Tournament last week, winning three consecutive games, including one over the No. 3 Purdue Boilermakers, to earn themselves a No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
A.J. Storr led the charge, averaging over 22 points a contest, while serving as Wisconsin’s go-to scorer, especially early in games.
However, it was Chucky Hepburn who ultimately served as the team’s “X-Factor”, putting together a number of strong performances, despite dealing with a knee injury that kept him out of last Friday’s game against the Northwestern Wildcats.
