NCAA rule changes have brought the college basketball preseason out from behind the closed doors of so-called “secret scrimmages.” On Friday, Wisconsin basketball gets its season unofficially underway in its first-ever public preseason exhibition against a high-major opponent.

Greg Gard and the new-look Wisconsin Badgers are headed to Milwaukee to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. Both Gard and OU head coach Porter Moser have brand-new rosters loaded with transfer portal talent, ready to take the court inside Fiserv Forum.

After UW’s annual Red-White scrimmage, what, if anything, was revealed about Wisconsin’s overhauled team? Can the Badgers continue their three-point shooting prowess? Will the defense hold up with all the new moving pieces?

Plus, what Oklahoma Sooners players should Wisconsin Badgers fans know heading into the matchup? Moser has re-tooled his roster with a slew of high-major contributors from around the country, including the original NIL wunderkind, former Miami Hurricanes guard Nigel Pack.
