Steven Crowl - Scores nine against Michigan State Crowl notched nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 21 minutes during Friday's 69-63 loss to Michigan State.
Impact Crowl fell just short of scoring in double figures Friday, but he made some crucial shots during the matchup to help the Badgers remain in the game. However, Wisconsin was unable to pick up the win in the quarterfinal round of the Big Ten Tournament. Crowl has been held to single-digit scoring totals in each of his last four appearances, and he's averaged 6.0 points and 3.8 rebounds in 26.0 minutes per game during that time.

Johnny Davis - Logs double-double in loss Davis posted 11 points (3-19 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 5-6 FT), 11 rebounds, three assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 69-63 loss to Michigan State.
Impact Davis returned to the court to begin the Big Ten Tournament after sustaining a right ankle sprain in Sunday's regular-season finale against Nebraska. He shot just 15.8 percent from the floor but led the Badgers on the boards en route to a double-double in the loss. The sophomore was wearing a sleeve on his leg Friday and was limited in practice ahead of the Big Ten Tournament, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. While he'll have some time to rest ahead of the NCAA Tournament, he'll presumably attempt to get into a more normal practice routine in the coming days. Davis has been held under 20 points in each of his last five appearances and has averaged 13.6 points and 8.0 rebounds in 29.0 minutes per game during that time.

Chucky Hepburn - Wrap on shooting hand Hepburn is warming up for Wisconsin with his shooting hand wrapped ahead of Friday's matchup with Michigan State, Jeff Potrykus of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Impact Hepburn is warming up with his shooting hand wrapped but the freshman will start for the Badgers. It is unclear if the hand issue will have an impact on his shot during the game, but it will be something to monitor for the starting point guard. The 6-foot-2 guard has started in all 30 games for the Badgers, averaging 8.1 points, two rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.2 steals on 31.4 minutes per game this season.
MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Johnny Davis - Starting as expected Davis is among the starting five for Friday's Big Ten quarterfinal matchup with Michigan State.
Impact Davis indicated earlier in the week that he would be good to go and his inclusion in the starting five verifies that claim. The star sophomore was reportedly warming with a sleeve on his leg, so it remains to be seen if he will be limited in any way. Davis has been key in Wisconsin's two games against MichiganState this season, dropping a combined 50 points in the two matchups, so he figures to be a matchup problem for the Spartans if he's operating at 100 percent.
MARCH 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lorne Bowman - Unavailable Friday Bowman (illness) will not be available for Friday's matchup with Michigan State, Abby Schnable of the Wisconsin State Journal reports.
Impact Bowman, who has missed the last five games for Wisconsin, will remain out for Friday's game against Michigan State. The 6-foot-2 freshman has appeared in 22 games, averaging three points, 1.1 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.3 steals on 10.5 minutes per game. Wisconsin will likely need Jordan Davis to take on an additional workload at guard as they hope to advance in the Big Ten tournament.
