After Wednesday’s win over Iowa, Wisconsin welcomed back a familiar face to the locker room. Brian Butch, who was a Badger big man from 2004-08, returned to tell Wisconsin players just how much it means to be a Badger.
He was a first-team All-Big Ten selection as a senior in 2008. He went on to a long professional career overseas and is the radio color commentator for the Wisconsin Herd, the Badger State’s G-League team.
Butch was last night’s honorary captain during Wisconsin’s win. Here is a look at his postgame speech after a needed win for the Badgers over Iowa:
"This place means something"
