Bo Ryan pointed to a number of factors that led to the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team earning the highest overall grade-point average of all the men’s teams at the school this spring.
“If one thing here is emphasized more than another, it wouldn’t be right,” said the Wisconsin coach. ” It was a combination of everything.”
What mattered to Ryan is that the Badgers, who had a cumulative GPA of 3.2, made a remarkable turnaround after three players stumbled during the fall semester and were ruled academically ineligible to play in the spring semester.
