Great article. Really hope the defense takes a step this year. Love the faster pace. I think our downfall last year with so many close losses was we couldn’t get stops in those games in key moments. Anyway, I really miss Tonje. There are few players we’ve had that I felt an attachment too (I.e. Devin, Alando, Frank).

Really appreciate you reading and taking the time to share that. Couldn’t agree more on the defense, that was the missing piece in so many of those close games. John Tonje absolutely left a mark in a short time here. When a player like that connects with fans on and off the court, it’s special. Hoping this year’s group finds that same identity.

Thanks so much! Really glad you found it informative. I think Wisconsin has done an excellent job in recent years adapting and building the team’s culture from the inside out. Strong values. Appreciate you reading!
