Trevon Hughes knew fellow point guard and workout mate Michael Flowers wasn’t with the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team Friday but he still had to do a double-take of his surroundings to make sure.
“Everything we did, practice, running the hill, it was always us two. I feel like he’s right beside me right now. It’s weird without him,” said Hughes of Flowers, a senior with the Badgers who took a temporary leave of absence Thursday for unspecified medical reasons.
“But we know he’ll be back,” Hughes added. “He’s just taking a little time off. He’s taking a step back so he can take two steps forward.”
