WATCH: Connor Essegian’s career night vs Michigan

The Badgers needed offense, and the freshman delivered

Wisconsin needed offense in the worst way on Tuesday night, and if it wasn’t for Connor Essegian’s team-high 23 points it’s hard to imagine the Badgers ending up in the win column.

The true freshman was a saving grace for a Wisconsin team that struggled in every facet offensively. The other four Wisconsin starters combined to go 11-46 from the field in the 64-59 win.

Essegian went 6-12 from the field, knocked down a pair of threes, and got to the line more than the rest of the team combined. The Indiana native went 9-10 from the line, with the rest of the team combining to go 5-8.
