Strickland made the announcement via twitter today.

“Thank you to my teammates, my brothers, for everything y’all have done for me,” Strickland twitted.  “I’ll always root for your success.  I also want to thank Coach Gard and staff for giving me this opportunity, but at this time I have decided to transfer from Wisconsin and continue my career elsewhere.”

Davison leads Badgers past Savannah State

December 14, 2018 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers scored a program record 69 points in the first half and went on to beat Savannah State 101-60 on Thursday night at the Kohl Center.

Sophomore guard Brad Davison pulled out of his season long shooting slump by hitting 6 of 9 three-pointers on the way to a 24 point night.  Davison hit 8 of 11 shots overall and added five assists, four rebounds and four steals.

The 19th ranked Badgers broke the 100-point mark for the first time since Nov. 19, 2013, when Frank Kaminsky scored a program record 43 points in a 103-85 win over North Dakota.

The Badgers finished 11 of 16 from three-point range (68.8%), 37 of 66 overall (56.1 %), hit 11 of 14 free throws (78.6%) and committed just 10 turnovers.

Ethan Happ added a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds.  Happ hit 4 of his 5 free throw attempts.

Freshman guard Tai Strickland hit 3 of 4 three-pointers and finished with a career high 14 points and six assists.

The Badgers played without senior Khalil Iverson.  He was in a walking boot with a foot injury.

The Badgers improved to 9-2, while the Tigers dropped their 5th in-a-row and dropped to 3-9.
