The 2010-2011 "sports year" has been a historic one for the Wisconsin athletic program. Now the Basketball team has made more history with thier two star players making the All-Conference first team.Jordan Taylor has been one of the biggest surprises in the conference this season. Leading the Badgers to a comeback victory against number one Ohio State in the Kohl Center. Topping his career high on numerous occasions, and sitting on top of the list in turnover/assist ratio this season.
The other Badger to gain All-Conference first team honors was not a surprise this season. Coming into the 2010-2011 season Jon Leuer was expected to be one of the best in the conference, and despite the year Jordan Taylor has put together Leuer continues to be the rock in Wisconsin's line up.
Quietly the senior forward has averaged just under twenty points a game this season, At the same time ripping down over seven rebounds a game. Making Leuer the dominant post player to compliment Taylor. Not to mention a shooting threat from the perimeter that has affected every defense in the Big Ten.
Regardless of their personal statistics, and roles on the team; the Badgers this season have featured a dominant duo that rivals any in the country. Now they sit among the elite in the conference, and for the first time in school history sit on top together.
