Badger Basketball 2025/26 Schedule Prediction

Welcome to basketball season! Thank god the football season is over for the Wisconsin Badgers. Looking ahead to Wisconsin’s schedule, the Badgers have a much easier non-conference schedule compared to the past couple of years. They follow that up with a couple of tough games to begin the actual Big Ten slate, a stretch of what looks to be easy conference games, and then a stretch of tough road games to end the season. I fully expect this season to play out like recent Greg Gard seasons, where he’s able to put together a solid season that’ll slip towards the end into tournament season. That is no disrespect towards the Badgers; that’s just how the schedule fares this year. On to the game by game predictions!
