Forward Nolan Winter has missed the last three games for the Badgers with an ankle injury. Despite that, Wisconsin is 3-0 in those games and now finds themselves in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
When the injury initially happened, head coach Greg Gard had said that Winter would "definitely" be available for the NCAA Tournament. And while the Badgers don't know if they'll play on Thursday or Friday, it's safe to say that regardless, they expect Winter to be ready to go within the next few days.
So now the question becomes, do the Badgers sit him to make sure he's close to 100% for the NCAA Tournament, or maybe play him at 75-80% for a chance at a Big Ten Tournament crown?
