The Wisconsin Badgers have been one of the bigger surprises of the 2024-25 college basketball season, finding themselves as a top-15 team in the country after initially coming into the year projected as the No. 12 team in the Big Ten alone.
A big part of that has been due to the veteran leadership and overall balance in the starting lineup, but the bench play has been almost equally as important in helping maintain the tone throughout the course of games.
Getting sparks off the bench have been huge for the Badgers this season, which have mainly come in the form of seniors Kamari McGee and Carter Gilmore.
