Lucas at Large: Searching for the next Jon Bryant

By Mike Lucas on March 14, 2012 6:19 PM

Ever hear about Jon Bryant?

"Never,'' Rob Wilson said. "Never heard of him. Who was that?''

Jon Bryant? Who was that?

"I know the name,'' said Josh Gasser. "Jon Bryant? Is he a coach?''

Not a coach, a player. Ever hear of him?

"Maybe,'' Ben Brust said. "Maybe if you tell me more about him.''

Played here.

"Played here at New Mexico?'' Brust asked.

Played at Wisconsin. But, yes, he did play here - at The Pit - in Albuquerque.

Seriously, doesn't anyone remember Jon Bryant?

"Yeah, of course,'' said Jordan Taylor.

Leave it to the senior captain.

Taylor, like Bryant, hails from the state of Minnesota.

"I worked out once with Jon Bryant when I was younger,'' Taylor said. "Some of my friends worked out with him a lot. To be honest, I don't know much about his history here.

"I know him more as a trainer in Minnesota.''

That would be the post-UW Jon Bryant, the founder of Triple Threat Elite Training.

"Jon Bryant,'' said video coordinator Sharif Chambliss, "was a great shooter for the Badgers. He was able to stretch the defense and knock down shots when they needed it.''

Never more so than during Wisconsin's 2000 run to the Final Four which culminated with wins over LSU and Purdue in the West Regional semifinals and finals at The Pit.

Bryant caught fire in the tournament starting with the Badgers' opening game when he went 7-of-11 from beyond the 3-point arc in a 66-56 victory over Fresno State.

Bryant still shares the school record for most triples in a game with a host of others, including Taylor (vs. Indiana last year), Brust (vs. BYU and UNLV) and Wilson (vs. Indiana).

The Bryant flashback and history lesson is relevant to this team from the standpoint that the Badgers have multiple players capable of exploding offensively with 3-point hits.

You can add Gasser to the list. Twice, he's had four triples in a game.

UW assistant coach Lamont Paris admitted that he was unaware of Jon Bryant's legacy though he had heard of the name. But he knows the impact that a shooter can have.

"It happens all the time in March,'' Paris said. "It's about who's playing well and who's shooting the ball well. Look at VCU last year in the tournament.''

Virginia Commonwealth made its Final Four run on the strength of its 3-pointers. "That's what it came down to,'' Paris said. "They shot an astronomical percentage.''

In retrospect, did Wilson sneak up on the Hoosiers? Or can he do it again? Michigan State was obviously aware of his presence and threat and limited touches and good looks.

So how does he get space?

"Rob is a good athlete,'' Paris said. "He comes off screens hard and he has pretty good size for a guard so he has the ability to create some space for himself that way.

"Performances like that - the Indiana game - are what this time of the year is all about. Get a guy hot like that and you can ride him into a deep run in the tournament.''

That's why defenses are geared to stop guys like that. Consider: Wilson took only five shots and made two against the Spartans last Saturday in the Big Ten tournament.

"A couple of times they were face-guarding, Indiana didn't do that,'' Wilson said. "Michigan State is a great defensive team and they came in with a great game plan.

"They were switching a lot on the screens and bumping me as I was running off of screens. I just have to read what they give me and what my teammates are doing.

"I have to make better reads and cuts to continue to get open. I have to take advantage of the opportunities that I do get.

"I'm still hoping to be a big factor and contributor off the bench here (against Montana). I have to play great defense and hopefully knock down a couple of shots.''

A couple of shots? What did it feel like to knock down seven against Indiana?

"It felt like the hoop was a lot bigger than it normally is,'' Wilson said.

Brust knows that feeling. Early in the season, he went 7-of-7 from beyond the arc against UNLV and 7-of-10 against BYU. Both teams are in the NCAA tournament.

Lately, though, Brust's playing time has dwindled. Despite accounting for only seven points in the last five games combined, he has remained upbeat.

"You just have to be ready at all times,'' Brust said. "If coach calls your name, and if the opportunity is there, you have to take advantage of it.''

Getting away from Big Ten defenses could help Brust.

"Maybe; maybe for everyone else on the floor, too,'' he said. "I think we're all excited to play against some new faces that we haven't seen before.''

March is the perfect setting for a breakout game for somebody.

"Anything can happen,'' Chambliss said. "That's why we're here.''

The last time the Badgers were here - at The Pit - Gasser was eight years old.

So you can understand why he would have no specific recollection of Jon Bryant.

"I do remember that (2000) team as a whole,'' Gasser said. "You don't really remember a lot of the individual players; that's why they were so good.

"You just remember how well that team played together. Obviously, there's some good karma in this arena, and hopefully we can continue it.''

After all, Bo Ryan emphasized, this is not about Jon Bryant and 2000.

"But this is our guys' time,'' Ryan said Wednesday. "Those 15 players that will be out there in red and white, this is their time ... this is their moment.''

Confidence, mental toughness and competitiveness

By Anna Poulter-Hendrickson on March 14, 2012 1:55 PM | No TrackBacks

In today's blog entry, head coach Yvette Healy writes about the team's success at the Wolf Pack Softball Classic and what is key for UW's top performers.

It's sunny and 78 in Madison today, as we prepare for our last spring trip. We're thrilled to practice outside on the dirt this early in the spring.

What a great weekend for Badger softball in Reno. The team went 4-1 in Nevada, batting .394. We're 10-7 overall right now, which puts us 4th in the Big Ten with our winning percentage. A few of our student-athletes are really playing well, including many of our Midwest kids.

Former New Trier (Ill.) standout Molly Spence was named Big Ten Player of the Week after batting .529 with an OPS of 1.873. Molly reached base in each game of the weekend and had three multi-hit games, including two, three-hit games. She belted four home runs on the weekend, including two in the final game against Nevada, finishing with 10 RBI.

Freshman Maria Van Abel, from Kaukauna, Wis., is leading the Big Ten in hitting, with a .459 batting average. She's done a great job at the top of the lineup, setting the table for our big hitters. Maggie Strange, our junior catcher from Gallatin, Mo., is leading the Big Ten in throwing out runners and allowing the least number of steals against.

The key for our top performers is definitely confidence, mental toughness and competitiveness. Each of our standout athletes has the right temperament. They understand that success is a process, and the only way to achieve small victories is continued hard work, a great attitude and the overwhelming desire to succeed. Injuries, setbacks and obstacles don't faze the best student-athletes. They just continue to work hard, developing a plan for improvement each day. They refuse to fail, and emotionally invest in the success of this year's team and the Badger softball program.

We leave Thursday for Santa Barbara, Calif. We'll have five games on the road, including a big match-up on Sunday against nationally-ranked Oklahoma State. OSU returns most of their squad from last year's team that reached the 2011 Women's College World Series. They just pitched a no-hitter against Nebraska who was ranked earlier this year too. We've had great games against several ranked teams this spring, and it's time to get over the hump. This game is a great opportunity to steal a key win for our young squad.

We've seen some weekends of good pitching early this spring, and strong offense lately. We're looking forward to putting it all together this weekend, building some excitement and energy as we open up Big Ten play next weekend at Iowa.

The Voice: Tourney win brought out best in Badgers

By Matt Lepay on March 14, 2012 7:35 AM

It is probably fair to say the Badgers' performance in last week's Big Ten tournament did little to help or hurt its seeding for the NCAA tournament. Perhaps there have been exceptions, but as far as Wisconsin is concerned, in most years that seems to be the case.

Still, there was plenty of exciting basketball in Indianapolis. OK, the semifinal games will not be instant classics, but Thursday, Friday and Sunday provided good theater.

For Badgers fans, Friday's quarterfinal victory against Indiana was special. In recent weeks, fans have been watching Rob Wilson get more and more playing time. Hoosiers coach Tom Crean told his players that, since the first meeting between the two teams in late January, Wilson was the Badgers' most improved player.

Yet I doubt anyone in the building figured Wilson would explode for 30 points and make "Rob Wilson" a trending topic on Twitter.

As enjoyable as it was in the moment, what stood out to me was how happy his teammates and coaches were for him. While watching the highlights, I noticed the players on the bench jumping up and down. Of course they were happy for the team, but as Bo Ryan has said, everybody likes Wilson, so that made the day even more fun.

After the game, associate head coach Greg Gard told us on the radio broadcast, "I haven't seen that since I recruited him at Garfield Heights." A few seconds later, Gard, for the second time in as many weeks, started to get emotional when talking about his senior from Cleveland, Ohio.

"I could not be happier for him," he said before his eyes started to water. Gard needed a few seconds to gather himself. "What he's had to go through, and what he's had to work towards. Umm (another pause). Glad to see him do this at this time."

The same can be said of Ryan, who on Friday won his 266th game as the Badgers' boss, a school record. He, too, was thrilled for Wilson. "And what is so special about it is because the way Rob has been since Day One. A great young man, a fine young man that works hard."

The head coach has said that some players need more time than others to develop. Ryan said a friend of his sent a text message offering a similar observation.

"He mentioned how he has seen that happen in some research he has done about people. He knows about people, and he realizes, too, that people have certain times where the focus is a little better, and nobody has that timetable that they can tell you ahead of time."

The text was from David Maraniss, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author. His work includes books on Roberto Clemente and Vince Lombardi, among many others.

As for the record, "All the memories to me always go to the players and the teams and things that they did," said Ryan. "I just feel really good for all the people involved in the program."

Then the ultra-competitive head coach showed his human side, too. "There is so much that goes into it that I'm so thankful for, from my family. And the fact that my..." Ryan needed three or four seconds to regain his composure before finishing the sentence. "My parents are still with me and had a chance to watch a lot of these games, and a lot of those teams that we've had."

I still think of Ryan's first season, when the Badgers upset seventh-ranked Illinois, 72-66. Among those who came out on the floor was Bo's father, Butch, pumping his fist as he joined the team in celebrating a memorable victory. No doubt Butch and Louise are very proud.

This week it is all about the NCAA tournament, as the Badgers face Montana and an old friend in Grizzlies assistant coach and former UW player Freddie Owens. With Bo it is always about "next." But as we head into what many call the greatest three weeks in sports, I just hope Badgers fans can cherish what took place last Friday in Indianapolis.

In the big picture of tournament seeding, it probably meant nothing. But sometimes sports can offer us a chance to witness something more important. Such as a player who has persevered, and a coach who just set a record, yet was thinking of everyone but himself.

Then again, maybe that is the essence of Wisconsin basketball.

Lucas at Large: Get to know Montana

By Mike Lucas on March 12, 2012 8:34 AM

Freddie Owens has transitioned from climbing hills at Wisconsin under coach Bo Ryan to "climbing mountains'' at Montana under coach Wayne Tinkle, a Milwaukee native, just like Owens. The 30-year-old Owens, of course, is the starting point for any scouting report on the Griz.

"Freddie texts me and I text him now and then; we stay in touch,'' said Ryan who was fully expecting to hear from Owens later Sunday night after the No. 4 seed Badgers drew No. 13 seed Montana in the NCAA Tournament. Owens is completing his third season on Tinkle's staff.

"In my workout room at the house,'' Ryan went on, "there's a big picture of Freddie on the wall - the picture of him running down the court after he realizes that his shot went in against Tulsa. I have to look at Freddie every day when I go down there and work out.''

Laughing, he added, "I might turn it (the picture) around this week.''

Truth is, whenever Ryan thinks about Owens making that memorable 3-point shot that capped a furious rally from a 13-point deficit with four minutes left and advanced the Badgers to the Sweet 16 in the 2003 tournament, he says, "It puts a smile on my face.''

Ryan had a premonition that Wisconsin might draw Montana. "When they won (the Big Sky tournament), I said, 'That's a team we could play,''' he recounted. "To be real honest, I probably said that about some other teams, too. But there's no question I thought that was a possibility.''

Owens had the same premonition.

"I said if we can somehow crack the 13 seed, I told my wife we're going to end up playing Wisconsin, just watch,'' Owens told the Missoulian, the local newspaper in Missoula, the site of the University of Montana campus. Missoula is a little less than 200 miles from Spokane, Wash.

"I'm excited personally and the guys are excited,'' continued Owens, a product of Milwaukee Washington High School. "It's going to be a weird feeling being across the bench from coach Ryan and some of the other guys on the coaching staff.

"This is March and crazy things happen. I think it's a great opportunity for us to go out and show that we can play against a really good program and hopefully come out with a win.''

Nobody has a longer active winning streak in college basketball than the Grizzlies, who have won 14 straight games and 20 of their last 21. The last time they lost was Jan. 14 at Weber State; a setback which they have avenged twice since then.

Montana upended Weber State, 66-51, in the final game of the regular season (Feb. 28) and then won the rubber match in the title game of the Big Sky tournament (March 7). It wasn't even close, either. The Griz wound up scoring 54 points in the second half alone during an 85-66 rout.

All five starters scored in double-figures - Kareem Jamar and Mathias Ward had 23 each. To say the least, this is not a deep Montana team. Tinkle subbed only twice against Weber State. Shawn Stockton played six minutes and Keron DeShields played three. Neither played in the second half.
The Grizzlies are led in scoring by Will Cherry, a 6-foot-1, 177-pound junior guard from Oakland, Calif. Besides averaging 16 points, Cherry is the school's career leader in steals with 221. He's also a lockdown defender; the Big Sky Defensive Player of the Year.

Cherry shares the backcourt with Jamar, a 6-5, 210-pound sophomore from Los Angeles, who averaged 14 points. Both are 3-point threats. Jamar went 5-of-8 from beyond the arc against Weber State in the Big Sky finals, and has 49 triples on the season, one fewer than Cherry.

The Griz are anchored on the frontline by Derek Selvig, a 7-foot, 230-pound senior and the only player from Montana (Glendive) on the roster. The starting forwards are Ward, a 6-7, 236-pound junior from Gig Harbor, Wash., and Art Steward, a 6-4, 210-pound senior from Casper, Wyo.

The Grizzlies are no strangers to the Big Dance. This will be their second trip in three seasons. In 2010, they lost, 62-57, to New Mexico (coached by Steve Alford) in the East Regional. Montana, then a No. 14, seed, played in San Jose, Calif.

Tinkle, whose teams have won 20 or more games in each of the last three seasons, was also exposed to the NCAA Tournament as a Montana assistant under Don Holst once and Larry Krystkowiak twice. Krystokowiak is a Missoula native, a Griz alum and a former Milwaukee Bucks player and coach.

The 46-year-old Tinkle is also a Griz alum; and the sixth-leading scorer and fourth-leading rebounder in school history. His wife Lisa starred for the Lady Griz, while their daughter Joslyn has started 20 games for the Stanford women's basketball team.

During the course of this season, the Grizzlies have adopted "Ain't no Mountain High Enough'' as a theme song. They've sung the lyrics during bus rides and following road wins. Climbing a mountain would be in Owens' wheel-house since he climbed his share of hills at Elver Park during his UW career.

That's part of the big picture this week.
