Redshirting at Wisconsin

High-level college basketball is filled with high-level egos. That is why that red-shirting is almost unheard of in the upper levels of the sport. Kids have swelled heads and no patience, and it just does not work like it used to.

So why does it work at Wisconsin?  They currently have six redshirts on their roster, including Ethan Happ, the Big Ten Freshman of the Year. A kid that good sat out a year?! Yes, he did. I don't know what it is in the water up there that makes kids so cooperative, but I wish we could import some of it to Arkansas.
