BEN BRUST RUMORS & GOSSIP
Bo Ryan on Brust: 'He's got the edge'
MADISON, Wis. Peruse the list of college basketball players that have recorded at least five double-doubles this season, and you'll mostly find bruising 6-foot-8 power forwards or colossal 7-foot centers.

The forgotten play that actually led to Wisconsin's Victory
Wisconsin won in dramatic fashion thanks to Ben Brust... at least that's what the headlines will tell you. Yes, it's true Brust hit the game tying three pointer from just inside the halfcourt strie and yes it's true that Brust hit the game winning three pointer with 39.6 seconds remaining.
However, when you hit the rewind button on this game there's a play...
Badgers, Brust do the unthinkable in upset
MADISON, Wis. Years from now, when fans reflect on Ben Brust's career as a Wisconsin basketball player, they will remember both his fearlessness and willingness to take shots from a distance that would make most coaches cringe. His range is as deep as any player's in the country this season, but it has its limitations.
At least, it seemed that way until Saturday, when Brust...

FROM HALF COURT
Wisconsin forces OT with crazy buzzer-beater
With Indiana losing to Illinois earlier in the week, Michigan could very easily have been the #1 team in the country with a win over Wisconsin today. Wisconsin had other plans though. With 3 seconds on the **** Michigan took a three point lead after a Hardaway Jr. three pointer. The game looked pretty much over at the time before Ben Brust hit a crazy running buzzer beater...
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...

Brust leading Badgers on the glass
MADISON, Wis. The reasons for Ben Brust's dramatic increase in rebounding totals this season aren't entirely clear. Maybe it's more assertiveness as an upperclassman. Perhaps it's a measure of toughness or simply being in the right place on the court.
Brust, Wisconsin's 6-foot-1, 195-pound off-guard, doesn't know why he leads the Badgers in rebounds after...
