Wisconsin basketball returns to the court on Friday night, looking to bounce back from its recent program-worst loss to Nebraska. Its opponent: the 8-2 Villanova Wildcats.
The Badgers enter Friday’s neutral-site contest, set to be played at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with a 7-3 (1-1 Big Ten) record. They currently sit at No. 39 in KenPom, No. 31 in ESPN’s Basketball Power Index and, disappointingly, No. 68 in the NCAA NET Rankings. The team is 0-2 against Quad 1 opponents to start the year, with respective 28 and 30-point losses.
Villanova, which is ranked No. 36 in the NCAA NET Rankings, is another Quad 1 opponent for Greg Gard’s team. Given Wisconsin’s early-season struggles against top teams and relatively poor resume, a bounce-back win feels like a requisite.
As we count down until tipoff between the Badgers and Wildcats, here is where and when to watch the matchup.
