The Wisconsin basketball program was without freshman center Gus Yalden for the first week of the season after he took a temporary leave of absence.
The Badgers played one game without the highly-touted freshman, a 105-76 blowout win against Arkansas State. One of the stories from the game was the team’s depth, depth which Yalden should figure into as the season progresses.
