Wisconsin upset Purdue in the Big Ten tournament semifinals game in Minneapolis on Saturday afternoon, and Badgers coach Greg Gard was hyped up after the win.
Gard wanted the Badgers to keep their energy level high heading into the title game on Sunday, and the words he chose for his postgame speech in the locker room were sharp.
“I’ve been part of a lot of, almost 25 years, amazing battles, in this league, in this tournament, in the NCAA tournament. That may be one of the best I’ve ever seen,” Gard said. “It’s you guys sticking together, coming together, picking each other up. I mean, raise your hand if you fouled out.”
