Wisconsin basketball appears set for an extended run of success over the next several seasons.
The team has consistently improved after missing the NCAA Tournament in 2022-23. That began with a 22-14 2023-24 campaign, then accelerated forward with an impressive 27-10 2024-25 season. Coach Greg Gard is largely to thank for that improvement and positive trajectory. His reshaping of the program's offensive scheme and play style led directly to the breakout of star wing John Tonje, which both aided the team's 27-win season and made the program an attractive destination for top transfer talents.
Wisconsin has already capitalized on that momentum in the portal this offseason by landing four-star prospects Andrew Rohde, Austin Rapp and Nick Boyd.
