1940-1941 UW Men’s Basketball Team The Season in Numbers
11-1: Big Ten record
20-3: Overall record
1004: Points scored in 23-game season (1st UW team to break 1,000 points)
536: Number of conference points scored in the season, a record at the time
15: Number of games won in a row
1: Other UW teams at that time that had won 20 games in a season (1915-16 team)
0: Other UW basketball teams to win a national championship
The story of the 1940-41 UW men’s basketball team remains one of the all-time great Badger success stories.
Though they got off to a rough start, the team went on to break multiple school and conference records before clinching the NCAA final round—to this day, the only NCAA national championship title to be awarded to the men’s basketball team.
The team was coached by Harold “Bud” Foster, Wisconsin’s all-time “winningest” men’s basketball coach. Foster played for the Badgers in 1929 and 1930, earning honors as an All-Conference and All-American center, before coaching UW basketball for 25 years (1934-1959).
UW Men’s Basketball record – 1940/1941 season. The Badgers started the season with a 3-2 record before losing their conference opener to Minnesota, and expectations for the season plummeted. But then the team kicked into gear, and they didn’t lose another game for the rest of the season. That 12-game winning streak culminated in UW’s first undisputed Big Ten championship since 1918.
Coach Foster (r) and Don Rehfeldt, 1949/50. #dn05052423 Coach Foster (r) with player John Kotz and Coach Fred Wegner (l).
#ch07021501 Wisconsin had two breakout players during this outstanding season: John Kotz and Gene Englund. This was Englund’s last season with the Badgers, and he made the most of it. The All-American team captain set a Big Ten scoring record with 162 points, and was named the conference’s MVP of the year.
Kotz, a sophomore during the 1941 season, was voted outstanding player in the NCAA tournament. During the next two seasons at UW, Kotz continued to garner honors, leading the Big Ten in scoring in 1942, and graduating as UW’s career scoring leader with 841 points.
1940-1941 UW men’s basketball schedule. Wisconsin hosted the Eastern NCAA Regional Tournament that year. North Carolina was defeated by both Pittsburgh and Dartmouth, and UW beat first Dartmouth (51-50) then Pittsburgh (36-30). Wisconsin then matched up against Washington State for the NCAA finals on Saturday, March 29, 1941 in Kansas City. When Wisconsin won that game 39-34, it clinched the only NCAA championship title in school history.
Starting lineup (l-r): Ted Strain, Gene Englund, Charles Epperson, Johnny Kotz, and Fred Rehm. #dn06072601 The team carries Coach Foster off the court. #040502as045 Back in Madison, between 10-12,000 fans greeted the Badgers at the Northwestern railroad station (at Blair and Railroad Streets, now the corporate headquarters of Madison Gas & Electric) when they returned from Kansas City at 1:20 am Monday morning. House mothers even suspended rules and allowed female students to stay out for the event.

Wisconsin basketball’s entire NCAA Tournament history
Asher Low
March 5, 2021 9:49 pm CT
The month that college basketball fans had to wait an extra year for this time around is here.
March is back, and Wisconsin basketball is an NCAA Tournament lock despite limping into the final week of the season as losers of four of their last five.
In a one-game scenario, a lot goes out the window. We have seen the Badgers make us believe and we have seen early, shocking losses from Wisconsin teams over the years. While the current stretch of play would favor itself to the latter, this is the month of March. You just never really know.
Aside from 2018, there is one thing we do know about the last two decades. If there is an NCAA Tournament being played, Wisconsin basketball will be in it.
Let’s take a trip down memory lane and relive the last 75 years of March sadness and madness for the Badgers:

what to expect and where to watch
The 2022 Women's Basketball World Championship , which will be held in Sydney, Australia from September 22 to October 1, will be the 19th in a row.
More than half of the previous tournaments - 10 out of 18 - were won by the US team basketball players, who will be clear favorites this time as well. Note that the winner of the 2022 World Cup will receive a direct ticket to the Olympics, becoming the first team to qualify for the women's basketball tournament of the Paris 2024 Games.
12 teams will take part in the World Championship, which are divided into two groups at the preliminary stage.
Group A: Belgium, China, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Puerto Rico, Republic of Korea, USA.
Group B: France, Serbia, Japan, Mali, Canada, Australia.
Round robin matches in groups will be held from 22 to 27 September. The four best teams from each six go to the playoffs, where they will compete for medals according to the classical Olympic system: 29September quarter-finals will be held, September 30 - semi-finals, October 1 - the match for third place and the final.
The main contenders for gold medals are US basketball players who have not only won ten such tournaments in the past, but also five of the previous six.
Thus, in the 21st century, only once - in 2006 - the victory at the World Cup went not to the Americans, but to another team, which was then the Australian team. In the application of the US team for the current tournament, there are five Olympic champions of the Games in Tokyo 2020: Jewell Loyd , Ariel Atkins , Chelsea Gray , Aja Wilson and Brianna Stewart. The main rivals of the Americans at the preliminary stage in group A will most likely be the Belgian basketball players led by the magnificent Emma Meesseman . The remaining four teams from this six will most likely have to fight for the remaining two vacancies in the playoffs, and basketball players from China will be the favorites in it.
A much more even line-up has gathered in Group B, which will feature World Cup hosts Australia, as well as three of the four participants in the semi-finals of the Olympic tournament in Tokyo (that is, all but the US team) - Japan, France and Serbia.
The sixth-placed Canadian team in the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) rating will play in the same group, the leader of which is Natalie Achonwa . So in this six, a serious struggle will begin from the very first days of the group stage, as one of the five very strong teams will not even be able to get into the playoffs.
In the teams of this group, we also note the legend of Australian basketball, still remaining in the ranks - 41-year-old Lauren Jackson , who was the 2006 world champion, and won her first Olympic medal 22 years ago - it was the silver of the Games the same Sydney, where the current World Cup will be held.
