After University of Wisconsin football’s loss Saturday to Northwestern, the eyes of Madison are now turned to UW basketball, who begin their season Wednesday in an exhibition against Eastern Illinois.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding Badger basketball after they won their last eight consecutive games and a share of the 2019-20 Big Ten Championship. Wisconsin returns seven rotation players from last year’s team and also adds a strong freshman recruiting class.
This Badgers team has all the makings of a contender in the coming season with important matchups that could push them to national contention.
