ours before making his first collegiate start, freshman Tyler Wahl sat in the lobby of an Iowa City hotel Monday afternoon and discussed his on-going education, College Basketball 101. From a team sense, and the 18-year-old Wisconsin freshman from Lakeville, Minnesota has always placed the team above everything else, he confessed, “It’s been a roller coaster.” Wahl went on to talk about the peaks and valleys from week to week in an ever-changing landscape (the Big Ten standings) and concluded, “It’s college basketball this year in a nutshell.” As for his own development, there have also been highs and lows — or exactly what you would expect out of an inexperienced, first-year player going through the inevitable growing pains. “It’s the different bodies you have to guard from night
to night,” said the 6-foot-7, 210-pound Wahl. “A couple nights ago, I was against (Evan) Boudreaux. He’s a workhorse, always going to the glass.” The 6-8, 220-pound Boudreaux, a fifth-year senior, is a power forward who graduated from Dartmouth in three years and has spent the last two seasons at Purdue. “Then, there will be a night like tonight,” said Wahl, eyeing the Iowa matchup. “I’ll have (Joe) Wieskamp. He’s not as much of a workhorse, but more of a finesse player.” The 6-6, 210-pound Wieskamp, a sophomore, is a small forward, who had scored 18 or more points in five of his last seven games, including 26 against Maryland. “It’s just two different dynamics,” Wahl said of the challenge in guarding bigger or smaller opponents, “and you have to change your mindset each night
and do what you’ve got to do.” After being promoted to the starting lineup against the Hawkeyes in the absence of Kobe King, who didn’t make the trip for personal reasons, Wahl played 25 minutes in Monday’s 68-62 loss. Along with scoring four points and grabbing seven rebounds, the second most for the Badgers, Wahl’s versatility was on display whether posting 6-9 Cordell Pemsl or driving on 6-11 Luka Garza. Ten days earlier, Wahl found himself matched against Michigan State point guard Cassius Winston who’s generally considered to be the best at his position in the conference, if not the country. It didn’t take long for the accomplished Winston, a four-year starter, to take the youngster to school off the dribble. The result was predictable and instructive for Wahl.
“I was a little too antsy, first time at Michigan State, a good atmosphere, I was up on my toes, jumping around a little bit,” Wahl said. “A good point guard is going to take advantage of it every time. “When I got to the bench, Coach (Alando) Tucker told me, ‘Just settle down and stay down (on defense) and just play basketball.’” Wahl has filed away all of the “gotcha” moments. “Oh, for sure,” he said. “It always comes up on film and even then, there are some points in the game where he (Gard) knows that I know (what I did wrong) and he won’t bring it up in film. “It’s just filed away in my brain and I’ve got to keep it there.” At times, Wahl has been overly aggressive to a fault leading to foul trouble, which was something that he was acutely conscious of before taking the floor at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. “Especially at younger ages, I was always fouling out and then I’d cry on the bench,” said Wahl, retracing his earliest steps in the sport. “It’s something that I’ve got to continue to figure out. “We’ve been talking about it and that has been an emphasis the last week or two in practice. Coach Gard says, ‘Be smart. Know when you can and when you can’t (do things).’ “I just have to be smarter to the whole different speed of college basketball and try to get away from the more risky passes and risky fouls. But I have to continue to be aggressive.” Wahl’s aggressiveness has
made people outside of the UW family take notice. Like Robbie Hummel, the former Purdue star who has made a successful transition to television as a color analyst. “I love that he competes, I love that he doesn’t quit on plays; he rebounds, and he makes winning basketball plays,” Hummel said. “He still has plenty of room to grow as an offensive player. “He can certainly become a better jump shooter. He’s certainly not a finished product. But you can see that he has the potential to be a really good player in this league.”
“TYLER WAHL IS THE GUY WHO CAN FIT IN WITH ANYBODY. HE DOESN’T DOMINATE THE BASKETBALL. AND HE CAN PLAY WITH PRETTY MUCH ANYBODY YOU PUT AROUND HIM.” Hummel can offer a unique perspective on competitive fire since his is still burning hot. USA basketball recently tabbed the 30-year-old Hummel as its 2019 Male Athlete of the Year. Last summer, Hummel was the MVP of the 3-on-3 World Cup in the Netherlands. His sights are now set on helping qualify Team USA in February for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo (July 24-August 9). “I definitely love his motor — his motor is phenomenal,” Hummel said of Wahl. “You need guys like him to win conference championships which is Wisconsin’s goal every single year.
“He’s a great piece and somebody you can continue to build your program around. With the recruits they’ve got coming, there are some highly-ranked guys (top 10 class nationally). “And Tyler Wahl is the guy who can fit in with anybody. He doesn’t dominate the basketball. And he can play with pretty much anybody you put around him.” ▪▪▪▪ While the Badgers were recruiting Nate Reuvers at Lakeville (Minn.) North High School, they couldn’t help but take note of the playmaking ability of one of his younger teammates, Wahl. “He caught our eye even as a freshman and we just continued to develop that relationship,” said assistant Joe Krabbenhoft. “He played hard all the time; he was scrappy. “He just did a lot of things that didn’t stand out or didn’t go on a stat sheet. He was a jack of all trades. And we found out that he’s got a lot of off-court characteristics that we like, too. “He’s just a really good kid, a coachable athlete.” Wahl was raised in a basketball family. His father, Tim, is a member of the Minneapolis Southwest High School Hall of Fame. During his senior year (1977), he averaged 27 points per game. Tim Wahl, a 6-4 guard, went on to letter four years at Mankato State (now Minnesota State). He was the MVP, captain and the leading scorer in the Northern Intercollegiate Conference as a senior.

BY MADELINE FRIEDMAN ▪ UW BRAND COMMUNICATIONS
What are you looking forward to most this season? “I’m really looking forward to getting out there and competing with the guys. Spring season is great because everybody’s all together for every match which really brings us closer together. We’ve all been working really hard, so I’m just really excited to see what the season has in store for us!” Why Wisconsin? “Deciding to come to UW was an easy choice for me. Not only did I feel that I really fit in with the coaches and team well, but a lot of my family went to school here. My dad, older brother, grandparents, and some of my aunts and uncles all went to Wisconsin, so I guess you could say it runs in the family.” Federer, Nadal, or Djokovic and why? “Although I really like all of these players, I’d have to say my favorite is Rafael Nadal. Growing up, I loved watching Nadal because of his grittiness and intensity.” How is it playing at Nielsen Tennis Stadium? “Playing tennis at Nielsen for me is awesome. When I was in high school, the state championships were played here and growing up, that was the coolest thing for me. Now taking the time to reflect and look back at how long these courts have been a part of my life is a pretty unbelievable thing.” Favorite meal after a match? “My favorite meal after a match would definitely have to be Sal’s Pizza. Whenever my parents come up to watch, we always try to go to this little pizza place that’s about 15 minutes off campus. It’s a lot of fun because sometimes some of the other guys on the team come with, so I’ve definitely had some great memories there.” What is your favorite professional tennis tournament to watch and why? “My favorite tennis tournament is the U.S. Open. When I was growing up, I always loved to watch it and a few years back I was fortunate enough to go to New York and see it live with my family. That was a really cool experience.” Click to read more »

Well-being at heart of sports medicine at Wisconsin Athletics BY MAYA SHEA ▪ UW BRAND COMMUNICATIONS
W
isconsin Athletics places top priority on the well-being of student-athletes. Because of this, Wisconsin’s Sports Medicine department is staffed with a variety of athletic trainers, team physicians, physical therapists, psychologists, dieticians, chiropractors, dentists, and specialists within the UW Healthcare system. Wisconsin’s collaboration with allied health professionals ensures that each individual is competing at their maximum potential while also taking care of their bodies. Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Medicine Michael Moll leads the Sports Medicine department. Studying at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Moll received his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology. He went on to earn a master’s degree in Higher Education Administration from Auburn University. “The growth and development of the student-athletes at UW has always amazed me,” says Moll. “I was blessed to be able to be educated at UW and have mentors that really believed in always putting the health, experience and care of the student-athlete first.” The Sports Medicine department at Wisconsin has an interdisciplinary program that collaborates with a variety of specialists to maximize each student-athlete’s performance through
the integration of science, training and injury management. “A variety of physiologic and performance-testing metrics have been implemented to help guide injury prevention, performance enhancement and return to sport following an injury,” says Moll. “We are always looking for evidence-based treatments, modalities and rehabilitation techniques to provide to our patients.” Wisconsin Athletics’ commitment to bettering the lives of student-athletes extends far beyond the Madison campus. Wisconsin Athletics is one of six institutions in the Advanced Research Core for the NCAA/Department of Defense CARE study which is the largest ever longitudinal study of concussion injury and recovery. The study will be impactful towards how concussions are being cared for now and in the future. “We continue to look for ways to collaborate with other professionals on campus and in the community to provide a high level of care,” says Moll. “I am really excited about how we have continued to evolve the resources available for student-athletes. We continue to look for better ways to increase access for our patients and the healthcare that we deliver.” Learn more about Wisconsin Athletics’ Sports Medicine here. ▪ 23

here may not be a more fertile classroom in life than sharing space and time with family. Where else can you learn lessons so basic and complicated, so intense and casual, so powerful and subtle than under your own roof? Where else can the lessons you absorb be so profound, enduring and never-ending than the ones provided by your own flesh and blood? Jason and Sean Dhooghe are junior wingers for the Wisconsin men’s hockey team, formal teammates for the first time in their lives. Jason is two years older and has been away from the family home in Aurora, Illinois, longer, so he’s had access to more experiences and insights. Jason has shared a good deal of knowledge with his younger brother about how to endure as a littler guy on the ice — Jason is listed 5-foot-7 and 165 pounds; Sean is listed at 5-3 and 155 — such as the art of taking a punch and giving it back. “He showed me a lot of tough love growing up,” Sean said of his older brother. “That’s where I think I’ve really gotten my swagger, I

guess, in terms of how I handle myself with adversity and, obviously, I’ve got a lot of that coming my way with my height and everything.” Since Jason lived away from home as a high-school senior — he graduated from Ashwaubenon while playing for Green Bay in the U.S. Hockey League — he also got a head-start in the art of responsible living and passed that down as well. Sean and his brother split the cost of their grocery and laundry necessities, share whatever homemade goodies their mom, Linda, drops off and keep the campus apartment they inhabit with junior centers Tarek Baker and Ty Pelton-Byce looking presentable. “We keep the room pretty clean,” Sean said. How is Sean better for having Jason as his roommate, teammate and on-site sounding board? “Oh, God, in every way, I think,” Sean said. Especially on a personal level. “I was separated from him for a long time when we were off playing (junior) hockey, so just being around family, having that person

The THE CAUFIELDS Dhooghes are joined by two other brother combinations currently playing for the Badgers: The Caufields, Brock and Cole, and the Donovans, Ryder and Shay. It marks the first time in program history that three sets of brothers are playing for Wisconsin at the same time. The family phenomenon has roots back to 1973-74 when Bob and Dave Lundeen played together for two seasons. After Bob left, Tom Lundeen joined Dave for two more. Their pairings were part of a remarkable 11-season period, from 1973 to ’84, where the Badgers had at least one set of brothers on the roster on 10 occasions. The lone exception was 1981-82. The other families in that mix include Brad and Murray Johnson, Mark and Peter Johnson, Scott and Todd Lecy and John and Jim Johannson. Brad and Murray Johnson, no relation to Mark and Peter, were also the first set of twins to skate at Wisconsin. In the last 10 seasons, the Badgers have had at least one set of brothers play in six of them.

background. Their late grandfather, Wayne, played at the minor-league level and is a member of the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame. Their father, Paul, was a standout at UW-Stevens Point and was a one-time assistant coach at his alma mater. The Caufield brothers are proud of their third-generation status and the investment they’ve made in the family passion. “We always had a way to play hockey,” said Brock, who has one assist in 20 outings for the Badgers this season. “We just fell in love with it. “We skated together growing up every day. We’d battle with each other, compete with each other. We want each other to get better.” Cole has pushed that bar to remarkable heights. He was a record-setting goal-scorer at the U.S. National Team Developmental Program before coming to Wisconsin. Along the way he was selected 15th overall by Montreal in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. “We found our paths here,” Brock said. “It was good for both of us.” The Caufields played on the same team in youth hockey as well as one season at Stevens Point High School. They don’t live together in college, but they spend a lot of time together. “I lived without him for three years, so it’s nice to get back (together),” Brock said. “We’re even better friends now that we’re close.” The Donovan brothers grew up in Duluth, Minnesota, playing hockey first on a pond on the family property and graduating to an outdoor rink built by their father, Bill. The siblings endured fights, arguments and an awkward decision by Shay to find their way to the Badgers. Shay was a senior and captain of the boys’ golf team at Duluth East when Ryder tried out.
“It was my first year trying out and I thought first point. “We work on stuff and practice toI had a good shot, actually,” Ryder said. “I had a gether. It’s really nice to have someone.

CAA athletes across the country report that mental health ranks as one of their top health concerns during their collegiate athletic careers. Wisconsin Athletics recognizes the importance of mental health as it contributes to an athlete’s holistic well-being. Because of this, the Clinical and Sports Psychology department at Wisconsin provides exceptional care for all student-athletes to ensure that they can be at their best personally, academically and in their athletic performance. Director of Clinical and Sport Psychology Dr. Cassie Pasquariello leads the department. Dr. Pasquariello received her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. She brings with her a wealth of experience from six different Division I athletic departments across the nation to provide critical mental health and sport psychology services for all student-athletes on campus. Dr. Pasquariello coordinates with the University’s allied health professionals to make sure all mental health needs are being met by the department. This includes individual counseling, performance psychology, team psychology and group injury-recovery counseling. “We know from the NCAA and our colleagues across the country that mental health is the number one concern for student-athletes,”
says Dr. Pasquariello. “I am always looking for what’s going on in terms of best practices and bringing them here to Wisconsin.” Collaborating with colleagues from other universities to ensure that Wisconsin is utilizing the best mental health practices, Dr. Pasquariello has attended several mental health conferences around the nation. This includes working closely with NCAA Chief Medical Officer Brian Hainline and his task force on cultural competency training to ensure that each student-athlete’s individual identity is being recognized and treated accordingly. “Those identities are really salient to the individual athlete when they come here. We need to foster their ability to merge their identity with what is here at UW and honor what is important to them.” The Big Ten hopes to be the conference that leads the charge for mental health support for student-athletes. Dr. Pasquariello, partnering with psychologists within the conference, and Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren recognize the importance of mental health in student-athlete performance and well-being. They are committed to providing the utmost support and de-stigmatizing mental health in collegiate athletics. Learn more about Wisconsin Clinical and Sport Psychology here. ▪ 35
