Watch: Steven Crowl junior season highlights

The Badgers men’s basketball team released the highlights for their star big man Steven Crowl on Tuesday. The 7-footer averaged 12.1 points and 6.9 rebounds while shooting 51 percent from the field.

Crowl and the Badgers failed to make the NCAA Tournament for the second time in the last five years, but they did make a deep run to semifinals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). During that run, Crowl produced a career-high 36 points in the first round of the tournament against Bradley.

Moving forward, Crowl will look to mentor both incoming big men from the class of 2023, Gus Yalden and Nolan Winter. With Tyler Wahl also returning in 2023, Wisconsin’s frontcourt should be much deeper next season.
