Other Notes

(OVERALL RECORD 18-13) (11-11 in conference)

Ranked 12th in KenPom Rankings

Unranked in the AP poll

OFFENSE: PPG (Adj. Offensive Efficiency – 27)

DEFENSE: PPG (Adj. Defensive Efficiency – 14)

Per teamrankings.com

Wisconsin gave up 27.8 ppg in the first half (8th nationally)

Gave up 36 ppg in the 2nd half of games (125th nationally)

(1.034 PPP) on offense

(0.947 PPP) on defense

Offensive distribution per KenPom

37.2% of points on 3’s

46% of points on 2’s

16.8% of points from the FT line

In the end, expectations may have been too high. This was not the great team as many had thought entering the season, myself included. This was a good team, that at times showed glimpses of being great.

The conference was extraordinary this season and if nothing else reminded us just how hard it is to win in the Big Ten. The Wisconsin basketball program will graduate a strong senior class, full of significant contributors who will give way to an inexperienced roster next season.

Thanks for the memories, On Wisconsin.
