UW officially kicked off the 2016-17 campaign with its first organized practice on Monday morning.
“We worked on some top-bottom stuff just to get the skills going again and then got some conditioning in too,” Medbery told UWbadgers.com. “It’s exciting to be back with the team and I’m looking forward to the season.”
Medbery and Jordan open their seasons at the NWCA All-Star Classic in Cleveland on November 5. The Badgers begin their year in earnest when they travel to New York for the Journeyman Classic on Nov.13.
