MADISON (WKOW) -- Jordan Taylor is the unquestioned star of this year's Badger men's basketball team, but the numbers he's put up as a senior pale in comparison to his numbers last year as a junior.
Taylor shot 43.3 percent overall and averaged 18.1 points per game in his junior year. This year, Taylor is shooting 39.1 percent overall, with an average of 14.0 points per game.
But despite his lower numbers, Taylor says he's doing just fine.
"I don't really worry about that. I mean, obviously, you know they're not where they were at last year, but we're in a better place than we were this time last year. If we would've won on Saturday, we'd be right in first place, so I really could not care less about [my numbers]," said Taylor.
"To [Jordan], the most important thing is trying to get everybody else to play as well as they can. You know, I don't think he worries about the numbers, because sometimes numbers can be misconstrued, but he'd like to see those numbers on the left-hand side pretty high," said Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan.
Wisconsin plays at Minnesota Thursday night at 6 p.m.
