Including two wins in this year s tournament, Ryan s teams are 13-4 against lowerseeded teams in the NCAA tournament. Bo Ryan is one of just fi ve coaches to take the same school to each of the last 10 NCAA tournaments, joining Mike Krzyzewski (Duke), Mark Few (Gonzaga), Tom Izzo (Michigan State) and Rick Barnes (Texas). UW has earned a top-4 seed in three of the last four years. The Badgers have won 18 NCAA tournament games since 2000, a number that ranks 10th in college basketball. NCAA Tournament Wins Since Duke Kentucky Michigan State UCLA UNC Arizona Kansas Wisconsin Connecticut Texas Florida ANOTHER IMPRESSIVE SEASON In 10 seasons in Madison, Bo Ryan has turned Wisconsin into one of the nation s most consistently successful programs. The renaissance is remarkable: Prior to Bo Ryan s arrival, Wisconsin won at least 12 games two times in the first 96 years of Big Ten play (1912 and 1914). Including this season, Ryan has led the Badgers to at least 12 conference wins in 6 of his 10 seasons. UW s 13 Big Ten wins ties as the 2nd-highest mark in school history. UW also won 13 games in 2007 and UW s record is 16 Big Ten wins (2008). The Badgers fi nished 3rd in the Big Ten standings. In 10 seasons under Ryan, UW has never fi nished lower than 4th place. Prior to Ryan taking over at UW, the Badgers had four 19-win seasons in 103 years. Ryan has led UW to at least 19 wins in each of his 10 seasons. BIG TEN S BEST Since Bo Ryan took over in 2001, Wisconsin has been arguably the best team in the Big Ten. In its 10th season under Ryan, UW has won fi ve Big Ten championships (3 regular season and 2 tournament). Only Ohio State (8; 5 regular season, 3 tourney) has won more titles during Ryan s tenure. Illinois also has 5 titles, but no other Big Ten school has more than 2 crowns over the last 10 seasons. Ryan s teams have posted a (.714) Big Ten record, the top mark in the conference over the last 10 seasons (chart on page 13). The Badgers posted a winning conference record for the 11th-straight season. Among the six major conferences, only Kansas (21 seasons) and Texas (13 seasons) have longer active streaks fi nishing above.500 in league play. Ryan s 120 career Big Ten wins ties him with former Michigan coach John Orr ( ) for 15th in conference history. Ryan is 2nd in Big Ten wins among active coaches, trailing only Tom Izzo (183). Ryan s teams have posted a.714 (120-48) win percentage in Big Ten games and a.727 (242-91) win percentage. His conference-only mark is the best in Big Ten history and overall, his career win percentage ranks 2nd in Big Ten annals. Overall Record for Big Ten Coaches (min. 10 years) Name Yrs W L Pct. 1.

Taylor is the 4th Wisconsin player to earn 1st or 2nd-team All-America honors since the AP began selecting All-Americans in Taylor joins Alando Tucker (1st-team selection in 2007), Don Rehfeldt (1st-team in 1950) and Devin Harris (2nd-team in 2004) as the only Badgers to earn 1st or 2nd-team All-America honors. Jon Leuer and Jordan Taylor were also included among the 20 finalists on the John R. Wooden Award national player of the year ballots, marking the first time UW had a pair of studentathletes on the Wooden Award ballot. ALL-BIG TEN TANDEM For the first time in school history, UW had two players earn first-team All-Big Ten honors as senior Jon Leuer and junior Jordan Taylor were recognized. Taylor was a first-team All-Big Ten selection by both the media (unanimous) and the coaches, while Leuer earned first-team All-Big Ten accolades from the coaches and second-team honors from the media. Fellow senior Keaton Nankivil received honorable mention from both the coaches and media. Taylor was also named to the Big Ten s All- Defensive Team as selected by the coaches. UW has had nine first-team all-conference players in Bo Ryan s 10 seasons as head coach. Leuer and Taylor are UW s first duo to be placed on the same first-team All-Big Ten list in the same season. Michael Finley (coaches) and Rashard Griffith (media) both earned first-team honors on separate lists in 1995.

That 19-game home win streak is the secondlongest in the Big Ten (Ohio State - 20) and the 5th-longest in UW history. It is also tied for the 6th-longest active streak in the nation. Four of the eight longest home win streaks in UW history have come in the Bo Ryan era. The Badgers won their 16 home games this season by an average of 18.4 points per game.

Harvard (81.0) ranked second in the nation, while Illinois mark of 72.9 percent is a distant second in the Big Ten. UW just missed setting the NCAA singleseason record.

He moves well and shoots well. And he can rebound. He s got a little back-tothe-basket game, too. He s going to have a chance to play in the NBA. - CBS Analyst Clark Kellogg Leuer s profile continues to rise. He ll be the go-to player for the Badgers, a Big Ten Player of the Year candidate and an NBA draft pick next year. - ESPN s Andy Katz His play against those NBA stars was just another reminder he plays the game the right way. He plays hard, he plays tough, he plays with skill. I think he ll be one of the steals of the next NBA draft. - The Sporting News Mike DeCourcy TAYLOR ONE OF COUSY AWARD FINAL FIVE The Basketball Hall of Fame named Jordan Taylor one of five finalists for the Bob Cousy Award, given annually to the nation s top point guard. Taylor was joined on the list by eventual winner Kemba Walker as well as Norris Cole, Jimmer Fredette and Nolan Smith. Former Badger Devin Harris was also a Cousy Award finalist in TAYLOR AMONG NATION S BEST Junior point guard Jordan Taylor posted career numbers en route to leading the Wisconsin offense. ESPN s Jay Biles named Taylor his Big Ten Player of the Year, while Doug Gottlieb rated Taylor as the 4th-best player in the nation, saying of him, At the end of the game, there is no one you want with the ball in their hands more not in the Big Ten, in the country than Jordan Taylor. TAYLOR SCORES... During conference play, Taylor finished 3rd in the Big Ten averaging 20.2 points per game (JaJuan Johnson led the conference at 20.7 ppg). Taylor is just the 3rd Badger in the last 15 years to average 20 points in Big Ten play, joining Devin Harris 20.9 (2004) and Alando Tucker 20.0 (2006). Taylor is the only player to rank among the Big Ten s top five in scoring and assists. Overall, Taylor was 2nd on the Badgers and 4th in the Big Ten averaging 18.1 points per game. Taylor scored 617 points this season joining teammate Jon Leuer (621 points this season) in the exclusive 600-point club. Just 6 players in UW history have posted a 600-point season: Alando Tucker (716 in 2007), Devin Harris (624 in 2004), Jon Leuer (621 in 2011), Michael Finley (620 in 1993), Jordan Taylor (617 in 2011) and Danny Jones (611 in 1989). Taylor scored 39 points in UW s win at Indiana (3/3/11), the most points for a UW player since Michael Finley scored a school-record 42 at Eastern Michigan on Dec. 10, Top-Scoring Games in UW History Players Opponent Date 42 Michael Finley at Eastern Michigan 12/10/94 42 Ken Barnes Purdue 3/8/65 39 Jordan Taylor at Indiana 3/3/11 39 Rick Olson Michigan 1/14/84 Taylor s 39 points are the most in a Big Ten game since Daniel Horton (MICH) scored 39 vs. Illinois on Feb. 21, His 39 points were the most in a Big Ten road game in 15 years (Geno Carlisle scored 39 in an win over Wisconsin at the Field House - 2/21/96). Taylor came one point shy of the opponent scoring record for Assembly Hall. Michigan State s Terry Furlow (1976) and Shawn Respert (1995) both scored 40 points in games at Assembly Hall. Taylor scored 30 points vs. Michigan State (2/6), while dishing 4 assists. He became just the 5th UW player to reach 30 in the Bo Ryan era, joining: Devin Harris, Kirk Penney, Alando Tucker & Jason Bohannon. Taylor owns 18 career 20-point games, including 9 of the 18 Big Ten games this season. TAYLOR SHOOTS...

Taylor tied the UW single-game record with 7 3-pointers (7-for-8) at Indiana (3/3). He also shot 83.2% (154-of-185) from the free throw line, good for 4th in the Big Ten. During Big Ten play, only Ohio State s Jared Sullinger (6.8 per game) and Purdue s JaJuan Johnson (6.3 per game) got to the free throw line more often than Jordan Taylor (5.9 per game). TAYLOR PASSES... Taylor led the nation with a 3.83 assist-toturnover ratio on the season (161 ast., 42 TOs). He also led Wisconsin with 161 assists and ranked 6th in the Big Ten with 4.74 assists per game. Taylor is one of 3 players in the nation to lead their conference in assist-to-turnover ratio and rank in top 5 in scoring along with Cleveland State s Norris Cole and St. Mary s Mickey McConnell. His 161 assists this year ranks as 3rd-best single-season total in UW history. With 317 career assists, Taylor ranks 6th in Wisconsin history. Tracy Webster (501) owns the school s career record. TAYLOR IS CLUTCH... When Jon Leuer went to the bench with his 4th foul at Indiana (3/3), UW led with 11:17 left.

7 TAYLOR MEET WORLD, WORLD MEET TAYLOR In the 30 minutes following UW s win over No. 1 Ohio State, the phrase Jordan Taylor was trending worldwide on the social media site Twitter.com. What that means is, Taylor s name was one of the top 10 most discussed topics on Twitter in the entire world. In the win over OSU, Taylor led all scorers with 27 points while adding 4 rebounds and 7 assists to just 1 turnover. Taylor made a five 3-pointers and scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half when UW erased a 15-point deficit. ASSIST-to-TO... UW S BEST EVER Taylor s career assist-to-turnover mark of 3.23 (317-to-98) is the top mark in school history. In 54 career Big Ten games, Taylor has a TOTAL of 51 turnovers, an average of 0.94 per game. WHAT S BEING SAID ABOUT JORDAN Jordan Taylor was unbelievable today. That s one of the great performances I ve seen. I think he played like one of the best guards in the country, not just the Big Ten today. His strength, his demeanor, I was very, very impressed. - Michigan State s Tom Izzo (2/6/11) I think Jordan Taylor is not only one of the premier guards in the league, that s obvious, I think that he s one of the premier guards in the country. - Indiana s Tom Crean (1/20/11) (Taylor) proved that he is not only a top-10 point guard, but the best in the Big Ten and a serious contender for Big Ten Player of the Year. - ESPN s Andy Katz (2/14/11) Who would have expected Jordan Taylor to take the helm of this team and not only elevate his play, but that of his teammates to a point where you ve got to talk about Wisconsin as a potential Final Four team. - CBS s Greg Anthony (2/24/11) COMEBACK KIDS In 5 of Wisconsin s last 10 wins, the Badgers erased 2nd-half defi cits. UW fought back from down 4 at Michigan (2/23), 6 down vs. Kansas State (3/19), 7-point defi cits against No. 11 Purdue (2/1) and at Iowa (2/9) and then climbed back from down 15 vs. No. 1 Ohio St. (2/12). That 15-point comeback tied as the 5th-largest second-half defi cit overcome in a win in program history. Here are UW s recent comebacks: Date Opp. Trailed Time Left Final 2/1 vs. Purdue : /9 at Iowa : ot 2/12 vs. OSU : /23 at Michigan : /19 vs. Kansas St : POINT MARKSMEN Wisconsin made a school-record pointers this season, eclipsing the previous mark of 250 estabilshed in UW has two of the top six 3-point shooters in the Big Ten. Senior Keaton Nankivil ranked 2nd in the Big Ten shooting 45.7% (59-129) and Jordan Taylor was 7th shooting 42.9% (75-175) from downtown. Nankivil s mark of.457 from behind the arc ranks as the 8th-highest single-season mark in UW annals. Nankivil s 42.0 career 3-point percentage ranks 6th in UW history. He made 92 of 219 treys during his Wisconsin tenure. Hitting 40% from 3-point range is a barometer for UW. This year, the Badgers are 14-1 when reaching that mark. Over the last 10 seasons, UW is (.859) when shooting 40% or higher from deep. This season, 41.2% of UW s shots have come from 3-point range, making 37.4% of those attempts. The Badgers average 8.18 made triples per game, 2nd in the Big Ten behind Northwestern (9.10). Wisconsin set a season-high for 3-point field goal percentage by converting on 64.7% (11-of-17) against Michigan State. The Badgers have won 15 consecutive games when shooting 50 percent or better from 3-point range. Over the last five seasons (since ), UW is 29-1 when hitting at least half of its treys. UW made a school-record 17 3-pointers (17- of-38) vs. Coppin State. The 38 attempts was the second-highest single-game total in UW annals. 1,000-POINT CLUB With 22 points in an NCAA tournament game vs. Butler (3/24/11), Jordan Taylor became the 37th member of Wisconsin s 1,000-point club. Jon Leuer topped the 1,000-point mark earlier this season. In Bo Ryan s 10 years at Wisconsin, 11 different players have reached the 1,000-point plateau.

However, Keaton Nankivil emerged as a reliable 3rd scoring option for Wisconsin. The Madison native scored in double figures in 14 of 18 Big Ten games, including a season-high 22 points vs. Penn State (2/20). During Big Ten play, Nankivil ranked 25th in the league averaging 12.1 points with 4.4 boards. Nankivil finished 2nd in the Big Ten shooting 45.7% from 3-point range on the season.

9 GASSER MAKES HISTORY WITH UW S FIRST TRIPLE-DOUBLE Josh Gasser recorded the 1st triple-double in UW s 113-year history and the 1st by a Big Ten freshman since Magic Johnson in 1977 with 10 points, 12 boards and 10 assists at Northwestern (1/23/11). Gasser s triple-double was the first in the Big Ten this season and just the 11th among NCAA Div. I players. Gasser is the only freshman in the nation to have posted a triple-double this season. Gasser becomes the first Big Ten freshman to record an official triple-double. Earvin Magic Johnson had 11 points, 10 rebounds and 13 assists in a win on Dec. 21, 1977 at Detroit, but the NCAA did not recognize assists until Gasser is also the first Big Ten player to reach that feat in a Big Ten conference game since Illinois Sergio McClain had 10 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists vs. Michigan on Jan. 13, Gasser also posted the Big Ten s first tripledouble on the road since Northwestern s Evan Eschmeyer had 27 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in a loss at Indiana on Jan. 13, GASSER S BUZZER-BEATER Gasser s game-winning 3-pointer as time expired at Michigan (2/23) was UW s 7th buzzer-beater (final second or as time expired) in the Bo Ryan era. Gasser is the first freshman in Wisconsin history to win a game in the final second. Gasser s shot was UW s first winner as time expired since Kammron Taylor s 3-pointer at the buzzer gave UW a win over UNC-Wilmington (12/15/05). GASSER IS EFFICIENT Josh Gasser finished 2nd on the Badgers with a 3.31 assist-to-turnover ratio in Big Ten play (43 assists/13 TOs). That figure also would have ranked 2nd in the conference (behind Jordan Taylor), but the minimum is 3.0 assists per game (Gasser averaged 2.4). Gasser had just 13 total turnovers, while averaging 28.8 minutes per game during conference play. That means Gasser turned the ball over an average of once every 39.8 minutes played. Overall, Gasser ranks 2nd on the Badgers with 75 assists and a 2.50 ratio (75 assists/30 TOs). GASSER HEATING UP Over the last 14 games, Gasser is shooting 48.0% from 3-point range (12-for-25). By contrast, the freshman guard started the season shooting just 18.4 percent (7-for-38) over the first 20 games. Gasser has posted double digits in 7 of UW s last 16 games, including 17 points at No. 1 Ohio State in the regular season finale. Gasser s 17 points (7-for-10 shooting) were the 2nd-highest total of his young career. He also led the Badgers with 6 rebounds. GASSER MAKES DAZZLING DEBUT In his first-ever game, true freshman Josh Gasser tallied 21 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. His 21 points ranked as the second-highest UW freshman debut. Only Rashard Griffith scored more in his first game with 27 points in the 1993 opener. Gasser started 30 of 34 games this season. He is just the third UW freshman to start a game under Bo Ryan, joining Devin Harris ( ) and Alando Tucker ( ). Gasser s 34 games played ties Kirk Penney (2000) for the most by a freshman in UW history. His 30 starts ranks as the 3rd-highest freshman total. Sam Okey (1996) and Devin Harris (2002) share the record wih 32 starts. EVANS PROVIDES SPARK Entering February, redshirt sophomore Ryan Evans was averaging 0.8 points per game in 5.5 minutes of action during Big Ten play. In the Feb. 1 win over No. 11 Purdue, Evans came off the bench to contribute 10 points in 19 minutes. That included two decisive baskets in the final minute, a free-throw line jumper to give UW a 1-point lead with 0:50 left and a dunk to clinch it with 0:09 remaining. He added another 11 points and 6 rebounds in 28 minutes off the bench on Feb. 16 at Purdue BIG TEN STANDINGS W-L Pct. W-L Pct.

13 WISCONSIN COACHING STAFF BO RYAN CAREER COACHING RECORD BO RYAN HEAD COACH Looking at Bo Ryan s 27 years as a head coach, including 10 seasons at Wisconsin, it s difficult to decide which is more impressive, his incredible longevity or his unparalleled success. It is, however, safe to say that the combination of the two is what elevates Ryan among college basketball s elite. With a win over Wofford in the 2010 NCAA Tournament, Ryan became the 56th coach in NCAA history to reach the 600-win plateau and is one of just eight active Division I coaches to reach that hallowed ground. Ryan s career winning percentage of.764 is second only to North Carolina s Roy Williams among active coaches with 600 wins. Entering his 10th season as head coach at Wisconsin, Ryan has unquestionably established himself and the Badger program among the most prestigious in college basketball. Under his direction, Wisconsin has compiled five Big Ten titles, the six winningest seasons in school history and an NCAA tournament appearance every season.
