WATCH: Chucky Hepburn lit it up in the first half vs North Texas

While it wasn’t the ending Wisconsin basketball wanted in a 56-54 loss to North Texas, starting point guard Chucky Hepburn did a little bit of everything for the Badgers.

The Wisconsin point guard had 15 first-half points while going a five-for-five from distance in the loss. The Badgers’ guard to a massive step forward with his perimeter shot this season, improving from just under 35% to nearly 40% from distance over year one to year two.

As a junior, the Nebraska native will be one of the essential pieces of the Wisconsin roster as the Badgers look to get back to the NCAA Tournament.
