The team played its home games at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin, and is a member of the Big Ten Conference.

Brian Butch and Michael Flowers were seniors; Marcus Landry and Joe Krabbenhoft were juniors; Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon were sophomores.

It apparently was a down year for the Big Ten as only four teams made the NCAA tournament.

Then had to be on "upset alert" for #11 seed cinderella Kansas St, who boasted stud freshman Michael Beasley.

In the Sweet Sixteen they ran into the true cinderella, #10 seed Davidson with Steph Curry, and lost 56-73.
