Good news for Wisconsin men's basketball as forward Tyler Wahl has announced his plans to remain with the Badgers next season, taking advantage of his fifth year of eligibility.
The 6-foot-9 super senior announced the decision to use the extra year of eligibility, that the NCAA granted players due to the pandemic, via social media.
"I have always wanted to leave the Wisconsin jersey better than I found it and our team has accomplished a lot over the last few years ... but we're not finished," said Wahl through his announcement.
The Badger star added: "I can't wait to create new memories with this group of guys and this program."
Tyler Wahl averaged 11.3 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game through 2022-23 this season, which followed up an 11.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per contest performance in 2021-22. Wahl started 32 games in each of his last two seasons in Madison, and he also was slotted as a starter for a majority of Wiscy's games in 2020-21.
The Wisconsin Badgers will lean heavily on Wahl's experience in 2023-24. The program went 20-15 during this last campaign, making it all the way to the NIT semifinals. But you can bet that Wahl and the Badgers have their sights set on returning to the NCAA Tournament in 2024.
