Badgers HC Greg Gard on success in the NCAA Tournament: “You’ve got to score”

Related Topics: Greg Gard

The Wisconsin Badgers had a fairly successful 2023 season that saw them slip defensively in comparison to years past, but also scored 75.1 points per game, their most in 30 years.

Now, their next challenge is the NCAA Tournament, where they’ll face 12th-seeded James Madison in the first round after drawing the No. 5 seed in the South Region.

While Wisconsin has seen regular-season success throughout the Greg Gard era, making the tournament in seven of his nine seasons (one didn’t happen due to COVID), they haven’t made it past the second round since 2017.
