Social media reacts to Wisconsin win the Big Ten
Wisconsin claimed at least a share of its first Big Ten title in five years on Saturday with a stirring comeback against Indiana on the road. It capped off a remarkable run over the last six weeks that included the Badgers winning eight-straight games to close out the season.
The accomplishment meant a little bit more considering the things the team has fought through going back to May with tragic car accident involving assistant coach Howard Moore and his family. That was followed by uncertainty around the eligibility of junior Micah Potter, second-leading scorer Kobe King leaving midseason and then strength and conditioning coach Erik Helland resigning.
In the end, though, coach Greg Gard and the Badgers came out on top. Afterwards, everyone took to social media to celebrate. Here’s some of the best:
We got a really big team 💯
We need some really B1G RINGS‼️

Everybody who doubted Gard (including me at times) needs to own up & give him his props & respect to win at least a share of the big ten title! #OnWisconsin

Greg Gard.
Can't coach. Can't recruit. Can't develop talent.

Sure the team won a B1G title but do we know if Greg Gard is a good coach yet?

Greg Gard didn’t make the final cut for national coach of the year but he should now be the @B1GMBBall coach of the year. What a turnaround. https://t.co/EPS7P9fqQp

What a run for Greg Gard and Wisconsin to finish the season: Eight wins in a row and at least a share of the Big Ten regular-season title. https://t.co/a74gKxqr4z
