The Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team have been an extremely starter heavy squad this year. They are ranked No. 320 in the country (out of 358 teams) in bench minutes, with only Michigan and Minnesota relying on their starters more in the Big Ten. So, when it was announced before the game against the Gophers on Wednesday that backup point guard Lorne Bowman would miss his second straight game, the Badgers, who would also be without suspended guard Jahcobi Neath, were in dire straits.
Enter Jordan Davis.
Twin brother of Wisconsin star Johnny Davis, Jordan had played 21 minutes TOTAL in UW’s previous 10 games but was going to be counted on to soak up some minutes against the Gophers.
