Rob Wilson has appeared in 97 games in his career at Wisconsin, flashing his athleticism and scoring ability when given the opportunity. Wilson's 2010-11 season was slowed by a hamstring injury suffered in the preseason, and resulted in just 23 appearances and two starts. Wilson owns a pair of double-digit scoring games in his career. The soft-spoken Ohio native earned his fearless reputation as a freshman when he came off the bench and tried to dunk over UConn's 7-foot-3 Hasheem Thabeet twice in the second half, drawing fouls on both plays and converting all 4 free throws.
Wilson led the Badgers with a .547 FG percentage as a sophomore.
