For Bo Ryan, whose Wisconsin team faces undefeated Kentucky in Saturday's national semifinals, the road from basketball fan to basketball lifer passed through the Palestra. It was on his first visit that he discovered to his delight that kids could stand at the baseline and retrieve basketballs during a team's warm-ups and pass them back to the players.
