Ethan Happ continues to reach milestones in a Wisconsin uniform.
During Tuesday night’s game against Michigan State, the star forward scored his 2,000th career point. That total put Happ over 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds for his career, becoming the fourth player in the history of the B1G to achieve that goal.
Fittingly, that accomplishment came in front of a huge home crowd.
Take a bow, Ethan Happ.
