Give Bronson Koenig all the credit in the world. "Told the players in the locker room that the sun will shine tomorrow. "Really, really tough locker room," Xavier coach Chris Mack said. Xavier, which finished second in the Big East, ended the season 28-6. 6 Notre Dame (23-11), which got a last-second tip-in to take down No.
UW advanced to the East Regional semifinals Friday in Philadelphia against No. The Badgers (22-12) reached the Sweet 16 for the third consecutive season and fifth time in the last six seasons. I think it was my first real game-winner – well, kind of like that. I can't really explain the feeling after I hit it. "I let it fly and I knew it was going in. And to answer your question, I knew it was going in before it even left my hand because that's a shot I practice quite a bit pregame with Nigel Hayes one-on-one and I do a lot of step-backs in the corner. "So I went up to him and told him, pass to me if I'm open. "I told Ethan before the play even started, I knew I wanted the ball," said Koenig, who got open after UW called a timeout with two seconds left.
Koenig, who hit 6 of 12 three-pointers and finished with a game-high 20 points, disappeared in a sea or red Xavier's players looked around in disbelief. The second, from deep in the right corner, directly in front of the UW bench and off an-inbound pass from Ethan Happ, touched off a visual that is March Madness.
The first came with 11.7 seconds left to forge a 63-63 tie. Koenig's last two shots, both dagger three-pointers, indeed did go in. We knew we had some fight left in us and eventually the ball was going to go in." "It was like three minutes to go being down seven or eight, whatever we were, and this group would not quit, would not give in. "As I told the team in the locker room," Gard said, "this game was kind of a microcosm of our season from the standpoint of November, December, January. The Badgers battled second-seeded Xavier for 40 minutes and overcame a nine-point deficit in the final 5 minutes 59 seconds to stun the Musketeers, 66-63, on Bronson's Koenig's buzzer-beating three-pointer from the right corner. Louis - Wisconsin's remarkable run under Greg Gard continued Sunday night in the second round of the NCAA East Regional, thanks to one of the more remarkable comebacks in recent memory. He showed in the NCAA and in the Summer League that he is a talented player, and he may just need to gain more experience and additional workouts to help his game improve further to get noticed by scouts from the NBA in the future.St. But with most training camp rosters already filled, it appears like he may need to look for job openings elsewhere, and work his way to the NBA from there.

Once he clears waivers, Bronson Koenig will become a free agent again, and could sign with any team that shows interest in his services. However, with a crowded backcourt that already features reigning Rookie of the Year Malcolm Brogdon, along with Matthew Dellavedova, Gary Payton III, and Kendall Marshall - not to mention Giannis Antetokounmpo who’s very capable of playing point guard, it became an easier decision for the team to let go of Koenig instead. The Bucks were intrigued enough after seeing the 22-year-old showcase his skill set during the Summer League, that they signed him to a two-way contract.
