Philadelphia— Considering how their season ended Friday night in the NCAA Tournament East Region semifinals, Wisconsin's players should be ravenous once they begin preparing for the 2016-'17 season.
The Badgers could field a deeper, more experienced team, even if Nigel Hayes decides to forgo his final season of eligibility.
They'll enjoy a more stable environment because Greg Gard, who took over when Bo Ryan retired 12 games into the season, will be their leader from Day 1.
There shouldn't be any doubt that UW's players expect more success next season.
