They say timing is everything. The Green Bay Phoenix men’s basketball team
Jordan Taylor
couldn’t have picked a worse time to face the Wisconsin Badgers.
The Badgers, coming off of back to back losses to North Carolina and Marquette, were looking to end their 2-game streak. The Phoenix just happened to be the team next in line and standing in their way. The result: Wisconsin 70, Green Bay 42.
Badger guard Jordan Taylor had a double-double, scoring 15 points and dishing out 10 assists. Taylor, who didn’t turn the ball over at all, said ball movement was key.
