With his first assist against Sheboygan North, junior guard Zach Kinziger broke his career high of 1,000 points, 200 assists and 100 steals. He is only the fourth Redbird to achieve this mark, joining John Kinziger (2019-23), Brandon Pritzl (2007-10) and Kael Coleman (2003-05).

First Team All-Conference and All Defensive Team honors were earned during his junior season, as was Zach Kinziger, who was named to the Wisconsin Basketball Coaches Association All-State Team.

Zach Kinziger is an underrated player for Badgers head coach Greg Gard. When necessary, he runs to the basket, but reflects airy off the ball.

Kinziger will be an immediate impact for the Badgers. I could even see him starting as a true freshman.
