Welcome back to the Bucky Report, where we dive deep into everything you need to know about the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team heading into the 2025-26 season. In this full-season preview we’ll cover:

• Top players to watch — returning stars, key transfers, surprise newcomers

• Big Ten outlook & Wisconsin’s record prediction

• Team identity: strengths, weaknesses, what must improve

• Superlatives: Breakout player, biggest X-factor, sleeper team in the league

• Key games on the schedule + can this program finally make a deeper March run?

The Badgers are coming off a 27-10 season (13-7 in the Big Ten) and while they return only ~32 % of last year’s minutes and ~40 % of last year’s starts, coach Greg Gard has retooled the roster with purpose and experience in the transfer portal.

Whether you’re a lifelong Wisconsin fan, Big Ten hoops junkie, or just love college basketball under-dog stories — this video will give you the full breakdown.
