Even though it wasn’t the Badgers’ best defensive game against USC, they were finally able to find a rhythm among the starters on offense. This included point guard Chucky Hepburn, who was able to find his jump shot after a rough few games and finished with a game-high 17 points while also hitting 3-5 from three-point range.
It wasn’t necessarily the result that the Badgers may have hoped for, but they certainly impressed the country with their impressive defensive performances in the Battle 4 Atlantis.
