Wisconsin is two games into the season, and there are still a lot of questions about how Greg Gard is going to utilize this much different team. This non-conference may be as important as ever for Gard and his staff to figure out how players play together, who the go-to scorers are, who can be trusted on defense, and so much more.
The Badgers will take the court tomorrow night, Tuesday, November 9, against the Fairfield Stags. The Stags are 1-1 on the season with a loss to Vermont but a win over Bryant. Now, they come to the Kohl Center ready to see if they can shock a Badger team still trying to work out all the kinks.
Here's everything you need to know about the game.

Game odds refresh periodically and are subject to change.
The odds are heavily in favor of Wisconsin, which should come as no surprise to anyone. Fairfield is in the Metro League, and this is a buy game for Wisconsin. 23.5 favorites for the Badgers isn't great considering the competition, but it is what it is right now. Wisconsin hasn't played their best basketball, only winning by seven against Denver and only nine over Delaware.
This one hopefully is finally a decisive victory for the Badgers and answers some of the bigger questions about this team. Or at least sets the stage for more of them to be answered.
Wisconsin and Fairfield series history
Wisconsin and Fairfield actually do have a history. A very, very small one, as the two teams have only met one time in their history. Wisconsin won the only time these two teams faced off, with a decisive 76-55 victory.
The game took place all the way back in December of 1992. So, this meeting is the second all-time between the programs.
Wisconsin injury report
It's a non-conference game so injury reports are not required. It appears that Wisconsin is fully healthy. Will Garlock joined the team in the last game and he was the only lingering injury.
