The 2015-16 Wisconsin men’s basketball team saw much adversity throughout the season. Namely, a coaching change, several home losses to inferior opponents and a season-long stint on the NCAA tournament bubble.
Eventually the team found its footing behind Greg Gard en route to a third-place finish in the Big Ten, followed by a trip to the Sweet 16.
The 2016-17 Badgers should pick up where they left off after graduating only one player and returning a staggering 99.74 percent of their scoring output.
Of the players returning, four are seniors, including the 2016-17 Big Ten Preseason Player of The Year, Nigel Hayes.
