Former Badger commits to new school

Jordan Davis, who entered the transfer portal at the end of March, committed to play for Illinois State this upcoming season.

Former Badgers guard Jordan Davis, who entered the transfer portal at the end of March, announced Tuesday that he’s committed to play for Illinois State this upcoming season. Davis will officially leave Wisconsin after three seasons with Greg Gard’s team.

Davis and his twin brother Johnny committed to Wisconsin as a three-star recruits in 2019, both coming to Madison as top performers at La Crosse High School. While Johnny quickly blossomed into a star with the Badgers, Jordan had to earn his minutes as a role player off the bench.

Eventually earning and then relinquishing a starting role with Wisconsin following his brother’s departure to the NBA, Jordan Davis averaged 5.1 points and 3.5 rebounds this past season.

Considering how hard he played on the court and how he conducted himself off of it, there’s no reason to wish anything but the best for Davis with the Redbirds.

Three things we learned from Ohio State basketball’s win over Illinois State

The Ohio State basketball team opened its 2020-2021 season Wednesday in blowout fashion vs. Illinois State. Here are 3 things we observed.

Well, hello there college basketball. We’ve missed you.

Ohio State broke the seal on its 2020-2021 season and we got our first look at what this team is made of. With so many new faces to go along with new uniforms and a long layoff because of the coronavirus pandemic, it sure felt like a completely different era in Columbus.

But Chris Holtmann is still the head coach and there is a little bit of returning talent that will get thrown into the mix. We did get to observe plenty of things during Ohio State’s 94-67 win over Illinois State and we’re got three of the biggest things we can take from what we saw from game one.

So let’s get to it. Here are three things we learned as we unwrapped the gift that is Ohio State basketball in the new season.

Rejoice because college basketball is back. We get our first peek at the Ohio State basketball team today and though it snuck up on you no doubt, it’s great to have hoops back.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again — with so many fresh faces on this year’s team, we don’t really know what to expect. So, we’ll be watching like the rest of you to figure out where the scoring will come from, what this team’s identity will be — and most importantly — can the collective gel to exceed expectations?

No matter what we see, the Buckeyes simply can’t afford to get out of the gate with a loss against an Illinois State team that frankly isn’t expected to be very good. And on that note, here are three keys to a Buckeyes victory on the hardwood Wednesday.
