Wisconsin Basketball

The team of Wisconsin basketball or more well known as Wisconsin badger basketball is stuffed with lengthy history as it reaches its 108th season last 2005-2006 season. It was in December 1898 when the Wisconsin Badgers basketball team was born. This was the time when the advent of the new basketball sport was only six years young.

The first Wisconsin basketball team was made up of Captain Walter Hirschberg, Paul Stover, Carl Sillman, John Mapel, and Bob Burdick. This first roster of players was coached by Dr. J.C. Elsom, the first University of Wisconsin coach.

One of the tremendous events in the cap history of the University of Wisconsin basketball team was the achievement of the NCAA championship victory in the year 1941. The Wisconsin badgers basketball team was led by two All-American players named John Kotz and Gene Englund, and coached by Bud Foster who trained the team on the traditional defenses and discipline attitudes towards basketball.

When the Wisconsin Badgers mens basketball started playing for NCAA, the team had opened the season with three straight wins against Milwaukee Bucks on March 4, 1899 but had dropped three of their succeeding five wins. This first season was considered as the first home game of the team. However, the Wisconsin men's basketball team lost to the Gophers in the middle games of the opening season but was able to win its last fifteen succeeding games, which also includes the historical run in the NCAA tournament of championship game against the Washington State team.

Bo Ryan Wisconsin men's basketball team coach had led the team to the 2001-2002 season right after the Badgers’ team was developed into one of the powerhouses of Big Ten. And on December 10, 2005, Ryan had reached his record of 100th victory. At one of the large Wisconsin basketball camps, which is the Camp Randall Stadium, Jon Bryant, a Wisconsin basketball player was gratefully greeted by the fans after he was named the West Regional MVP.
