All offseason Wisconsin fans were hearing that Frank Kaminsky was a changed young man - both in his body and his mindset - yet, when the season started we didn't see much of that. We began to see it against Indiana, but a freak eye injury took him out of action early and made him sit nearly two weeks.

Brust is Badgers' most improved player
MADISON, Wis. Last season, it was easy to spot Ben Brust on the basketball court in games. Chances were, the Wisconsin guard could be found hovering around the 3-point line, waiting for an opportunity to chuck a deep ball at any moment.
That isn't to say Brust, whose range rivals the best in the nation, doesn't still get a thrill out of burying a 28-foot 3-pointer. But...
