Wisconsin Basketball: Are the Badgers the Team to Beat in the Big Ten in 2016?

The Wisconsin basketball team got good news this week that forward Nigel Hayes is returning to the Badgers for his senior season. Does his return mean the Badgers are the team to beat in the Big Ten?

It certainly makes the Badgers one of just a few teams that should be looked at as the cream of the crop in the Big Ten conference.

It’s hard to imagine the Badgers don’t put up a fight to win the conference this season.

Wisconsin will be stacked in 2016-17, as the team returns all nine of its leading scorers and all five starters.
