Season Notes

This was the second of back-to-back 30+ win season for Wisconsin. Brian Butch and Michael Flowers were seniors; Marcus Landry and Joe Krabbenhoft were juniors; Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon were sophomores. All contributed to the team's success.

Wisconsin won the Big Ten regular season title outright, won the Big Ten tournament championship, and were only awarded a #3 seed. It apparently was a down year for the Big Ten as only four teams made the NCAA tournament.

Wisconsin handled #14 seed Cal State Fullerton 71-56 in the first round. Then had to be on "upset alert" for #11 seed cinderella Kansas St, who boasted stud freshman Michael Beasley. However, Wisconsin prevailed 72-55. In the Sweet Sixteen they ran into the true cinderella, #10 seed Davidson with Steph Curry, and lost 56-73. Trevon Hughes was hobbled with a bum ankle and only played 11 minutes in that game.

This was the year all #1 seeds made the Final Four, and Kansas beat Memphis in the championship.
