Senior guard D’Mitrik Trice has been climbing up Wisconsin basketball’s all-time leaderboards this year, now his fifth with the program.
Though he already sat at No. 4 on the program’s all-time assist list, Trice hit another milestone tonight against Northwestern as his assist on a Micah Potter 3-pointer became No. 400 in his illustrious career.
4⃣0⃣0⃣ career assists.

Trice now sits 32 assists short of No. 3 Ethan Happ, 64 short of No. 2 Jordan Taylor and 101 away from No. 1 Tracy Webster.
Furthermore, his 93 assists during the 2020-21 season are good for No. 4 in the Big Ten conference, that after finishing No. 6 in the category last season.
Trice has the option to return next season thanks to the NCAA granting fall and winter athletes an extra year of eligibility. Maybe with that extra year, Trice could climb to No. 1 on Wisconsin’s all-time assist list. Still, even if the senior doesn’t return, he has a chance to continue his ascension as the 2020-21 season comes to a close.
