Badger Basketball Season Preview

The Heart of Big Ten Conference Play

I really believe if that’s the case with wins over Virginia and Baylor and loses to Xavier and Creighton/UCLA should put the Badgers in the polls.

Wisconsin will ultimately play six straight games in Madison which spans over to start conference play again against Indiana. That’s the longest stretch of home games on the schedule.

The Hoosiers will be a better team than some think. I really like the signing of Archie Miller. They lost a lot, including a 91 three-point maker in James Blackmon Jr. They do return Robert Johnson who made 70.

I like Indiana to possibly be around the bubble this season, but I don’t see them being able to get past the Badgers at home. Wisconsin will use their height and win their sixth straight at home.

Three straight road games will follow the long home stand. The first two look really nice. It’s reassuring to see that the Badgers have Rutgers and Nebraska as some of their road games.

The back end of the road trip isn’t going to be so nice. They have to then go to West Lafayette and do business with the Purdue Boilermakers. Right now they’re 20th. It could be higher by then.
