MADISON, Wis. — Saturday will be a homecoming of sorts for Connor Essegian. The Badger freshman grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which is about a 3 hour drive from Assembly Hall where the Badger will face the Hoosiers.
“I’m just really excited to be able to go back and be able to play a game at this level in front of a bunch of people I grew up with”, he said.
And Essegian expects there to be a lot of familiar faces in the crowd cheering him on.
“I can only imagine what it’s going to be like walking out after and seeing all the people waiting for me.”
