How Wisconsin basketball performed in their Paris opener

The Badgers trip gets off to a winning start

The Badgers are taking advantage of college basketball’s four-year travel rule as Wisconsin is spending the week in France preparing for the 2022-23 season.

Every four years, a program is allowed to take an international trip that is usually filled with scrimmages, sightseeing, and team bonding.
