After a somewhat promising start to a season slated for rebuilding by many before the year began, the Wisconsin men’s basketball team has begun to slide with a string of consecutive losses.
At the onset of their non-conference schedule, the Badgers appeared to show some fight even when taking on top-ranked opponents. They fought strong against Saint Mary’s and even took down in-state rival Marquette.
At the foundation of each of these performances were Nate Reuvers and Brevin Pritzl. Against Saint Mary’s, Reuvers accrued a team-leading 22 points. He also managed to lead the team in rebounds and blocks with six and four, respectively.
