By now you’ve probably heard about Green Bay Southwest grad Aaron Moesch and his “Moesch-stache” which has taken the country by storm.
The redshirt freshman last shaved after the Badgers’ last loss, which was February 24th, and that thing on his upper lip has kept growing as the Badgers kept going in the NCAA Tournament.
But even he acknowledges that thing looked pretty bad for a while.
“Two weeks after I got really lazy and I decided not to shave it, my mom was yelling at me, ‘Just take that off!’ My grandmas hate it, too. Two weeks later I was even lazier. It looked awful from the start, and I think it still looks awful, but that awfulness is kind of turned into dedication. I mean, it has nothing to do with the fact that we keep winning, but I just like to have a little bit of fun with it,” Moesch said.
“I”m a big fan of it, yeah,” Badgers sophomore Bronson Koenig supported. “He got a haircut with the barber at our hotel and everything, and the first thing he told the barber was to stay off his ‘stache.”
The sharpshooting Badgers have hit 50 percent of their shots in this NCAA Tournament. Oftentimes in the Final Four, in a wide open stadium, hot shooting teams cool off, but last year in the Final Four the Badgers shot 46 percent and made 8 triples. That’s something to look for on Saturday.
