University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Power Forward Rich Byhre comes on Sports Chat With Matt to discuss his inspiring basketball journey. From tearing his ACL and meniscus his senior year in High School, to spending four years at Rockhurst University in Kansas City, and now coming back home to Wisconsin at UWGB. Rich has two years of eligibility left at University Wisconsin-Green Bay and the future is looking bright for him.
Rich is a highly skilled big man and an elite shooter who was only 4% away on his free throw percentage last season from joining the elusive 50-40-90 club. Not to mention he has a lightning quick release, with the unique skillset Rich brings to the table he will help Green Bay get the ball rolling quickly in Coach Wicks' rebuild of the program.
