Tyler Wahl - Struggles in loss Wahl closed with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-7 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block in 33 minutes during Friday's 80-70 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Wahl converted just 2-of-7 attempts from the charity stripe, finishing with 10 points and eight rebounds in Friday's loss to Tennessee. The 6-foot-9 graduate student had a terrible miss at the line early in the second half and was visibly rattled at the line during the rest of the contest, leading to some heart-breaking misses down the stretch. Wahl (61.8 percent career shooter from the stripe) and the Badgers (who finished 14-of-23 at the line as a team Friday), will look to regroup ahead of Tuesday's matchup with the Friars.

Steven Crowl - Effective in loss Crowl logged 14 points (4-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes during Friday's 80-70 loss to Tennessee.
Impact Crowl flirted with a double-double as the Badgers dropped their first game of the season to Tennessee on Friday. The 7-foot junior has been a stalwart member of the Badger's frontcourt for the last two seasons, and he will be an everyday starter for Greg Gard in 2023. Crowl will look to help Wisconsin get back on track during Tuesday's showdown with Providence.

Gus Yalden - Off injury report Yalden (personal) is not listed on Wisconsin's injury report ahead of Friday's matchup with Tennessee.
Impact Yalden appears available for the Badger's showdown with Tennessee after missing Monday's opener against Arkansas State. The 6-foot-9 freshman was a highly touted recruit in Wisconsin's 2023 class, but given his off-the-court issues, it remains to be seen how quickly he will be integrated into the Badgers' rotation.
NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Connor Essegian - Questionable vs. Tennessee Essegian (back) is questionable for Friday's game against Tennessee, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sportsreports.
Impact The sophomore guard played just five minutes in Monday's season opener before suffering the injury, and his availability for Friday's contest remains up in the air. Essegian averaged 11.7 points and 3.7 rebounds in 27.3 minutes while shooting 40.04 percent from the field and 35.9 percent from deep in 35 games last season.
NOVEMBER 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Gus Yalden - Returns to practice Yalden is back at practice following his leave of absence, Rohan Chakravarthi of SB Nation reports.
Impact Yalden was initially reported to be away from the team due to "a personal family matter," but the Wisconsin State Journal reported earlier this week that he had received multiple citations from campus police -- one for underage drinking and another for possession of marijuana at his residence hall. The more recent citation came days before Yalden was absence from practice and the team announced a temporary leave of absence. It appears Yalden has met the requirements coach Greg Gard has established for him to re-join team activities, but it's unclear how soon the four-star forward will return to the court. In his absence, freshman Nolan Winter has been impressive serving behind Steven Crowl, while Carter Gilmore continues to see minutes behind Tyler Wahl. It will be a crowded rotation for Yalden to break into, once clear.

Wisconsin gets offensive behind Hepburn in 105-76 win over Arkansas State
Chucky Hepburn scored 20 points on 7-for-10 shooting and Wisconsin beat Arkansas State 105-76 in a season opener for the teamsNOVEMBER 7, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nolan Winter - Productive outing Winter supplied six points (3-3 FG, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 15 minutes during Monday's 105-76 victory over Arkansas State.
Impact Winter gathered in seven rebounds during his collegiate debut, while logging a perfect outing from the field. Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard stated his intention to utilize the 6-foot-11 freshman in the rotation early on and Winter was ready for the opportunity. Winter will provide the Badgers with much-needed frontcourt depth behind Tyler Wahl and Steven Crowl this season.

John Blackwell - 12 points in collegiate debut Blackwell recorded 12 points (3-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-7 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 15 minutes during Monday's 105-76 win over Arkansas State.
Impact Blackwell made an impact during his limited action Monday, finishing with 12 points and four rebounds during Wisconsin's 105-76 win over the Red Wolves. The 6-foot-4 freshman was a three-star recruit in the class of 2023, and although he is unlikely to play a major role this season, he showcased his potential in the Badgers' season debut.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
AJ Storr - Flashes in program debut Storr finished with 15 points (6-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 24 minutes during Monday's 105-76 victory over Arkansas State.
Impact Storr showcased his ability to run in transition as well as defend on the other end of the court during his Badgers' debut, finishing with 15 points, one block and one steal. The 6-foot-7 sophomore was Greg Gard's only addition in the transfer portal this offseason, but he proved his capability to fill a much-needed role for the Badgers on the wing. Storr, who averaged 8.8 points and 1.9 rebounds during his freshman season with St. John's, is sure to take a leap in production this season.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Max Klesmit - Perfect in opener Klesmit posted 14 points (5-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound and one assist in 19 minutes during Monday's 105-76 victory over Arkansas State.
Impact Klesmit converted all five attempts from the field Monday, including one shot from deep in a blowout win. The 6-foot-4 junior, who finished the 2022 season a respectable 38.3 percent from beyond the arc (3.6 attempts per game), will continue to provide the Badgers with an inflow of perimeter scoring this season.
NOVEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Chucky Hepburn - Leads team with 20 points Hepburn had 20 points (7-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), one rebound, six assists and three steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 105-76 win over Arkansas State.
Impact Chucky found his groove during Monday's win over Arkansas State, propelling the Badgers to a record-setting 105-point performance in the Kohl Center. The 6-foot-2 junior, who made a point of dropping weight and becoming quicker this offseason, notched three steals in the contest. Chucky helped facilitate a free-flowing Badger offense, but it remains to be seen how Wisconsin will handle a top-ranked defensive unit Friday against Tennessee.
