Wisconsin basketball is adding a contest against Appalachian State to its 2024-25 nonconference schedule, according to CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein.
The game is reportedly scheduled for Nov. 10 at the Kohl Center.

The Mountaineers will enter the upcoming season after a 27-7 2023-24 campaign. The team finished last year ranked No. 83 overall in KenPom and No. 2 in the Sun Belt Conference, ranked behind only James Madison — who defeated Wisconsin in the NCAA Tournament.
The contest will serve as an early test for Greg Gard’s team as it works to gel after a busy offseason of turnover.
Wisconsin’s 2024-25 nonconference schedule also includes a Nov. 15 home matchup against top-ranked Arizona, the Greenbrier Tip-Off with UCF, Pittsburgh and LSU, a Dec. 7 road matchup with rival Marquette and a Dec. 14 neutral site contest against Butler.
That gauntlet then leads into a challenging conference landscape that now also includes former Pac-12 powers USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington.
The Badgers’ 2024-25 schedule again guarantees to be one of the toughest in the nation after KenPom ranked its 2023-24 slate No. 3 overall.
