Badgers’ Davis expects to play this week despite ‘dirty’ hit

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin star Johnny Davis says he expects to play in the Big Ten Tournament after getting knocked out of the Badgers’ regular-season finale on a hit he described as “dirty and uncalled for.” “The plan is to see how tomorrow goes and Friday goes, but the plan is to play and be there for my team,” the Big Ten player of the year said Wednesday. Davis regained his footing as he arrived at the basket, but the right arm of Nebraska’s Trey McGowens hit him in the face, causing the 6-foot-5 guard to fall awkwardly and hurt an ankle. There’s no need for that in the sport of basketball.” After the game, Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg said he hadn’t yet watched a replay of the play that knocked out Davis but added that “I can tell you this about Trey McGowens, he’s one of the greatest kids I’ve ever been around.” Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said Wednesday that Davis has practiced on a limited basis this week. “We’re optimistic he’ll be ready to go by Friday.” Davis is averaging 20 points and 8.1 rebounds.
