As Wisconsin takes on Duke Monday night for the NCAA men's college basketball title, here are five reasons to be even more excited for the big game.
74 Years
Wisconsin hasn't won a national title since 1941. Basketball was a much different game back then...
Frank The Tank
Frank Kaminsky was namedAssociated Press' player of the year - the first Badger to be so honored.
If you needed a reminder as to why @FSKPart3 was named national Player of the Year yesterday, here it is: http://t.co/C9WIK3qDUh — Wisconsin Basketball (@BadgerMBB) April 4, 2015
Homegrown Team
From La Crosse to Port Washington, seven players on the roster are from Wisconsin. Sheboygan native Sam Dekker has been especially clutch for the Badgers. Duke, on the other hand, has one player from North Carolina.
Uncommon Chemistry
The players seem to have a lot of fun together..
