The Wisconsin men’s basketball team is finally finding their stride.
The team is doing so by settling in and returning back to the identity that brought the team to the NCAA championship game just one season ago. Head coach Greg Gard emphasized settling down and making better offensive decisions in his press conference Monday afternoon.
Former head coach Bo Ryan utilized a similar strategy during the club’s highly-successful 2015 postseason campaign, which fell five points short of the NCAA title last season. Gard, who transitioned from assistant to head coach after Ryan’s mid-December retirement, has the Badgers on a five-game hot streak with wins over Michigan State, Penn State, Indiana, Illinois and Ohio State.
