Badgers head coach Greg Gard named to Naismith College coach of the year watchlist

The Wisconsin Badgers have been one of college basketball’s biggest surprises this season, taking over the Big Ten with a 21-5 record and 11-4 start in conference play.

That has led the team to the No. 11 ranking in the AP Top 25, as well as a top-10 rank in KenPom, while bracketologists have Wisconsin around a No. 2 seed at the moment, which would be their highest in recent memory.

All of this has come after one of the busiest offseasons for the Badgers, where they saw seven players depart and brought in six new faces via their freshman class and the transfer portal.
