Had you told me last November the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team was going to win 25 games and a share of the Big Ten regular-season title, the reaction may have been a polite smile followed by an eye roll when the conversation was over and the coast was clear.
Had the suggestion been made that the Badgers would do all that while shooting a dismal 30.6% from 3-point range, well, the mocking would have been more immediate and less restrained.
But UW somehow pulled it off, putting together a fantastic season while being downright awful from the beyond the arc.
