Badgers big man having quite the season
The Badgers men’s basketball team is out to a 16-4 start to the season, 8-1 in the Big Ten, and big man Steven Crowl has been having quite the year. Crowl is averaging 11.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game this season.
Brandon Harrison, lead of the Badgers basketball team’s brand communications has pointed out some of the things that that big man has done this year to make his campaign special.
Crowl nearly notched a triple-double in the Badgers 91-79 win over Indiana on Jan. 19, securing 12 points, eight rebounds and eight assists, becoming the third 7-footer in a major conference to reach those numbers since the turn of the century.
On top of that, the big man is just two assists shy of passing Frank Kaminsky (188) for the most career assists for a 7-footer in the Big Ten in over 20 years.
