Wisconsin Basketball: Badgers Open Season with Win

Related Topics: Wisconsin, Win

Wisconsin basketball romped over South Carolina State to a 85-50 win in the season opener. So the easy win we won’t waste your internet time recapping the rout.

Instead, lets assess what learned and dramatically over analyze the lessons from Wisconsin demolishing a non-conference cupcake.

For starters, junior Andy Van Vliet looks like he should continue to be a starter. The big Belgian scored 18 points (2nd on the Badgers behind Ethan Happ) in 22 minutes.

Notably, he did his work in just 22 minutes. Van Vliet shot 7-11 from the floor including 4-5 from three.
