Wisconsin basketball continued its impressive start to the 2021-22 season last night with a 70-66 win over Georgia Tech.
A Yellow Jacket scored 33 points (Michael Devoe), Wisconsin was outrebounded by 8 and the Badgers shot 68% from the free throw line. Yet Wisconsin still won the game.
If that isn’t a sign of a good, gritty team I don’t know what is. Brad Davison had a career night with 27 points and 5/9 three-point shooting, Jonathan Davis filled every category of the stat sheet and the team as a whole buckled down late to close out a road win.
The No. 23-ranked Badgers now get set for a Saturday home bout with a 7-1 Marquette team.
Before we look ahead, here is some of the best Twitter reaction to last night’s win:

If you’re still one of those shmucks who “hates” Brad Davison you need to do some serious soul searching. Dude can play for me anytime.

This might be THE Brad Davison game.

This team is a ton of fun. Fun is the most appropriate word.

My thoughts: A guy scored 33 points against UW, which got outrebounded by 8 and was shaky from the free throw line. And the #Badgers still come out of this with a road win. Super night from a super senior was key.
