The Big Ten announced their 2013 postseason awards this evening, and a number of those representing the University of Wisconsin basketball program were honored.
After having to deal with a devastating season-ending injury for starting Point Guard Josh Gasser, an awful non-conference start, and a number of questions surrounding the Badgers, Bo Ryan weathered the storm and coached his team to a 12-6 finish in Big Ten play, taking fourth in the conference. In a season that seemed destined to be a disaster for the Badgers, Ryan did a phenomenal job keeping the program towards the top of the conference yet again, as Wisconsin finished in the top four of the B1G for the 13th straight year.
Big Ten coaches and media members recognized Bo Ryan's accomplishments this year by naming him the 2012-13 Big Ten Coach of the Year. Ryan has now won the award 3 times in his 12 year tenure at Wisconsin- winning in the 2001–02 and 2002-03 seasons after back-to-back Big Ten titles in his first two years as coach of the Badgers.
