After a heartbreak of that nature, the one the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team experienced in their 84-83 overtime loss at the buzzer to the Florida Gators, it can be easy to shut people out and remain to yourself.
In many stories and updates across the Badgers following, players and coaches were in disbelief that their season ended like that and that the four seniors- Zak Showalter, Nigel Hayes, Vitto Brown, and Bronson Koenig had played their last games as members of the Wisconsin Badgers.
For head coach Greg Gard, he will now enter an era where a majority of the players on the roster are his recruits moving forward.
