The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team has officially announced that freshman guard Lorne Bowman will be leaving the program and continuing his basketball career closer to home.
Bowman had this to say in a press release by the Badgers:
“First and foremost I want to thank God for giving me the ability to play the game of basketball at a high level,” Bowman said. “I want to thank coach Greg Gard, Dean Oliver, Joe Krabbenhoft and Sharif Chambliss and the entire staff for giving me the opportunity to showcase my talents. To my teammates, I will never forget you guys. To Badger Nation, I want to thank you for all the support and love you showed me and the team this season. The University of Wisconsin will always have a special place in my heart. May God bless you all!”
The former three-star recruit appeared in 22 games this past season, averaging 3.0 points, and 1.1 rebounds – while shooting 40% from beyond the arc.
The Michigan native missed the final eight games of the season due to a non-COVID related illness.
Bowman now joins forwards Matthew Mors and Ben Carlson in the transfer portal, leaving UW with four open scholarships.
