Thank you, Brad Davison (unknown)

Following a disappointing 2020 campaign, senior guard Brad Davison decided to utilize his extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 ...

UW was going to feature a roster with the average age of just 19.5 years old, and 12 members would be underclassmen. Davison’s mere presence on the floor and ability to offer guidance both on the court and in the locker room proved invaluable all season. The team he was returning to was going to be vastly different from the senior-laden roster he played with the previous season.

A thank you to Brad Davison (unknown)

It's a day that seemed like it would never arrive, but Brad Davison has played his final game for Wisconsin Basketball. Thank you, Brad.

It’s hard not to root for a player that plays the way that Davison did the last five years. So, if you’re Brad Davison and you’re reading this, thank you for all that you gave us during the last five years. No matter how you view Davison as a player, there is no denying that the person that he is, is not comparable to very many people. Few people brought more to the Wisconsin Men’s Basketball team than Brad Davison and that is what made him so special to us. There are numerous examples of Davison being a good person off of the court. It’s easy to tell that Davison has plans on being a coach with how he conducted himself on the court.

Why Brad Davison is ‘overwhelmed with gratitude’ as Wisconsin men’s basketball career ends (unknown)

University of Wisconsin men's basketball coach Greg Gard says a 54-49 loss to Iowa State on Sunday in the second round of the NCAA Tournament is hard to swallow ...

He made a program-record eight 3-pointers in a win at Nebraska and hit a clutch 3-pointer late in a 60-56 win at Indiana that helped UW clinch a share of the Big Ten title. “I was just taking a moment to look around at all the red and to be on the floor in the arena with the jersey on.” “I hope basketball’s not the first thing that people think about when they think of me,” Davison said.

BY MIKE LUCAS UWBadgers.com Senior Writer. MADISON, Wis. — Every piece to the puzzle, every starter, brought something unique to the offensive mix.

Davis and Davison were the last two UW players in the handshake line. In the end, it remains to be seen how much it would have helped. Davis and Davison walked off the floor together for the last time. Davis not only elevated his game – to Big Ten Player of the Year status – but he also lifted his teammates by making them better. It's the finality of that last time and not being able to go to practice tomorrow or next week. Since 2014, they've won 15 NCAA games, the second-most among Big Ten teams and the eighth-highest total in the nation. The Cyclones had 15 steals and 22 points off turnovers in that LSU win. Iowa State led the Big 12 in 3-point percentage defense (.294). And while averaging only 6.9 triples of its own – the Cyclones were 3-of-14 against Wisconsin – they've been outshot from beyond the arc only nine times. Said Davison, who had four of the UW's seven assists, matching the team's lowest total over the last 22 games, "We have an offensive game, a defensive game plan. Could Hepburn have had an impact in running the Wisconsin offense more efficiently? When Davis missed the Providence game in Madison, they lost.

With a sensational sophomore season behind him, Wisconsin's ... (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

Wisconsin's Johnny Davis. a first-team All-American and Big Ten player of the year, could decide to enter the NBA draft this year.

“But he's given a lot to this program. I can help guide him and his family through that. “He's a heck of a player. Davis was a big reason the Badgers were co-Big Ten champions in the regular season. The consensus first-team All-American and Big Ten player of the year packed his statistical résumé with 19.7 points per game and 8.2 boards – basically double the results off the bench a year ago. "Yeah, he's — man, is he good,” said Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger, a Milwaukee native.

Wisconsin Badgers football: three questions on offense heading into ... (Bucky's 5th Quarter)

The Badgers start training for the next season on Tuesday. Here is what we are hoping to have answered by the offense.

Mertz is the best quarterback on the roster, regardless of what people want to say about Chase Wolf or Deacon Hill, and this season is the time to show it. The only familiar target that Mertz will have back this season is junior WR Chimere Dike, so a rapport will have to be built from scratch with new players. I’ve been fortunate to be around some great coaches and players in the NFL, and I want to bring the best of what I’ve learned to the Badgers,” Engram said. He will surely have some input in how the offense is run and what sort of schemes they’ll be enacting. The Wisconsin offense wasn’t the most impressive unit last season and changes clearly needed to be made. I’m sure we all have a bunch of questions about how the team will look, but here are three of the most pressing ones for the offense.
