Hard Work Pays Off For Travis Bader

Oakland's Travis Bader is the Sharpest of Sharpshooters



ROCHESTER, Mich. — On a frigid morning in early January, Jeff Tungate, a former assistant coach for the Oakland men's basketball team and current head coach for the women's team, walked passed the gym in the Athletics Center O'Rena on the way to his office.
Temperatures hovered below zero and more than a foot of snow blanketed campus, yet there was Travis Bader putting up shots more than an hour before the Oakland men's basketball team would take the floor for practice. Later that day, when Tungate left his office to go home in the evening, he once again passed Bader, who was on the court going through another shooting workout.
