(AP) -- Frank Kaminsky can be described as a late bloomer, bursting on the scene last season as a junior to help guide Wisconsin to the Final Four.

The national player of the year candidate will play his last game at the Kohl Center on Sunday looking to help the fifth-ranked Badgers secure a share of the Big Ten regular-season title against a Michigan State team coming off another disappointing defeat.

Kaminsky averaged 2.9 points while starting two of 67 games through his first two seasons before averaging 13.9 points along with a team-best 6.3 rebounds in 2013-14. The 7-footer has been even better this season for Wisconsin (25-3, 13-2), ranking second in the conference in rebounding (8.8 per game), third in field-goal percentage (54.4) and fourth in scoring (17.7).
