New angle of Isaac Gard’s senior night 3 shows Greg Gard’s emotional reaction

Hats off to the Wisconsin basketball social media team for putting together an amazing short clip of Isaac Gard's three-point shot at the end of the Maryland game. The standing ovation, the crowd chanting his name, the bench losing their minds, but mostly the proud father who was soaking it all in and holding back tears.

The video below is hard to watch without feeling your own eyes well up. You can see the joy and pride between a father and son. It's a moment that will be cherished forever. Watch it yourself as it's a new angle that wasn't seen in the TV broadcast:

Isaac Gard got the Senior send off he deserved after growing up in the Kohl Center

Isaac Gard grew up in Madison, mostly inside the practice facilities and the Kohl Center. Greg Gard has been part of the Wisconsin basketball staff since 2001, first as an assistant to Bo Ryan and then eventually being handed the reins himself. Isaac was born in 2003. He's never, not known Wisconsin Badger basketball.

When the opportunity came to play on the team as a preferred walk-on and play under his dad, he took it, even if it meant sacrificing playing time. He still took it, and helped out all along the way as a walk-on. Now, he got the send-off he deserves.

It was a storybook ending that had all the parts. The crowd (specifically the student section) is chanting for Greg to put his son into the game on Senior Night. Finally, it happened, and the crowd cheered. It was supposed to be a come in, play a series or two, sub out, so you can have that final moment with the crowd cheering you on, Senior night, but Isaac one-upped it. He pumped a three, then fired it off, sunk it, and got maybe the biggest roar of the night.

That's the way, he deserves to go out. What a story, what a player.
