[1] As a junior, Essegian led the Cougars to a 20–1 record while averaging 24.0 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.3 steals per game while shooting better than 41 percent from 3-point range.
[4] Essegian was named one of five finalists for 2022 Indiana Mr. Basketball joining Travis Grayson, CJ Gunn, Fletcher Loyer and eventual winner Braden Smith.
Midway through the season, with the Badgers were dealing with injuries and the lack of scoring, coach Greg Gard inserted Essegian into the starting lineup for Jordan Davis.
However, he was asked to come off the bench to start the season after the Badgers signed AJ Storr in the NCAA transfer portal from St. John's.
