Nick Boyd has truly found his stride with the Wisconsin Badgers, and it seems like he’s finally at home. After starting his college basketball journey with the Florida Atlantic Owls and making a pit stop with the San Diego State Aztecs, Boyd has landed in the Big Ten, choosing the Badgers over the North Carolina Tar Heels. This NCAA Tournament veteran has quickly become a key player for Wisconsin, a team that’s been making some serious waves lately.
In a recent conversation, Boyd shared his thoughts on his experience with the Badgers, highlighting the pride and tradition that come with being part of the program. “I’m at a university where people would die for it,” he said, capturing the spirit of the Wisconsin fanbase.
Boyd’s impact on the court is undeniable. Teaming up with John Blackwell, he’s been a dynamic force in the backcourt.
This season, Boyd is averaging an impressive 20.3 points and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 47.6% from the field and 36.2% from beyond the arc. His performance has been a driving factor in the Badgers' success.
However, the journey hasn’t been without its bumps. The Badgers, ranked No. 24, faced a setback with an 86-69 loss to the Ohio State Buckeyes at the Value City Arena.
This defeat followed two significant victories over the No. 8 Illinois Fighting Illini and the No.
10 Michigan State Spartans, which sent ripples through the college basketball landscape.
But there’s no time to dwell on the past. Boyd and the Badgers have a chance to rebound quickly as they prepare to host the Iowa Hawkeyes at the Kohl Center in Madison. It’s an opportunity to get back on track and continue their impressive season.
