Fresh off a narrow 87-84 victory over the UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros, the No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers are set to kick off their in-season tournament on Friday when they face the UCF Knights to open the Greenbrier Tip-Off.
Wisconsin has started the season 5-0, but they faced a scare earlier this week against a sneaky UT Rio Grande Valley team that has played competitively against a number of high-major schools to begin the year.
That followed a strong performance from Wisconsin, as they upset the then-No. 9 Arizona Wildcats 103-88 at the Kohl Center in one of their biggest victories in recent memory last Friday.
