Wisconsin Basketball defeated the New Zealand Breakers 85-75 in Auckland, New Zealand on Tuesday August 15th. The wins and losses on this 12-day trip to Australia and New Zealand are immaterial.
What does matter is discovering anything new for Wisconsin Basketball in advance of the 2017-18 season. I’ll caution myself here to not overanalyze or overreact to individual performances to draw sweeping conclusions about the season.
But it’s clear that Brevin Pritzl is well on his way to the Naismaith Award. Not really, but it was a welcome result for the 6’3″ redshirt sophomore from De Pere, Wisconsin.
