After a one-season hiatus, Greg Gard and the Wisconsin Badgers basketball program (22-12) are making a return to the NCAA Tournament, securing their 23rd appearance in the last 25 years.
Following a deep run in the Big Ten tourney, the Badgers secured a respectable 5-seed in the South Region. This Friday, at 8:40 p.m. CT in Brooklyn, they will clash with the 12-seed James Madison Dukes (31-3).
Our bracket is set. Let’s dance.

“We’re a better team walking out of here today than we were when we showed up on Thursday,” Gard told reporters.
