Even in a crushing 67-59 loss to Michigan, there are always positives to be found from a Wisconsin perspective. That positive on Sunday was freshman guard Johnny Davis, who was the only Badger that found consistent offense during the second half implosion. Finishing as one of only three Badgers in double figures with 11 points, the freshman’s degree of difficulty on a number of second half buckets was what stood out.

Current professional basketball player for Turk Telekom in Turkey and Wisconsin basketball legend Sam Dekker chimed in on Twitter during a second half where Davis was the only thing going Wisconsin’s way. Take it from a former five-star recruit who went to a pair of Final Four’s as a Badger: this freshman is special.
Johnny Davis stands-out. He moves like a true hooper.
