In similar fashion to your Fighting Illini, the Wisconsin Badgers have been a bit of an anomaly this season in the Big Ten. With wins over two ranked teams, No. 14 Iowa and No. 2 Michigan, Wisconsin has looked like the team of old under legendary coach Bo Ryan. The problem is that this team is no longer under Bo Ryan. Instead, Greg Gard has been at the helm since December of 2015.
You would think that a team with two wins over top-20 teams would be close to sniffing the national rankings. The reality is, however, they aren’t.
