How to Watch Wisconsin Badgers vs. Holy Cross men's basketball season-opener

Here we go. After a long offseason, and some exhibition games to get their feet wet, the Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball team is ready for their season-opener on Monday night. This time around, Holy Cross is on the schedule first.

Greg Gard has been feeling the pressure for quite some time, as Wisconsin supporters aren't feeling too excited about this upcoming campaign. However, Gard is ready to make a statement and his guys will hope to deliver with a convincing performance against Holy Cross in Game 1. If you're not going to be in Madison to catch the action live, we've got you covered on how to watch from the comfort of your own home on TV, or on the go via a stream.

It goes without saying, but it's incredibly important for Wisconsin to get off to a hot start this season. ESPN came out with a report on programs with their coaches on the hot seat, and while Gard's name was brought up, it doesn't look like any change will be coming this campaign.

However, should things go south quickly, it's something that can't be ruled out. Gard powered Wisconsin to the Big Ten title game last year, but a first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament left plenty of people furious. He needs his group to look sharp against Holy Cross, as there are no excuses for them in this one.
