When University of Wisconsin basketball coach Bo Ryan decided to give Morris Cain a scholarship this year, it had to be because of efforts like the one the junior from Nicolet High School displayed Sunday.
The 6-foot-5 forward, who had walk-on status his first two years in the program, brought a load of energy and production in the Badgers’ annual Red-White Scrimmage, finishing with 16 points, seven rebounds and three assists. He made six of seven shots and hit a free throw with 1.1 seconds left that allowed his Red team to salvage an unofficial 85-85 tie with the White team.
