Wisconsin basketball officially got its 2023-24 season underway last week with the running of Bascom Hill. The team will first take the court on November 6 for a home matchup with Arkansas State.
The Badgers have high expectations entering the season after returning Chucky Hepburn, Tyler Wahl, Steven Crowl and others, and also adding guard A.J. Storr in the transfer portal. They are a veteran group that figures to yet again compete for a Big Ten title.
Before we get into the season, there was a positive piece of news coming out of the program yesterday: Wisconsin officials said that Steven Crowl, Max Klesmit and Carter Gilmore all plan to use their COVID year of eligibility and return in 2024-25.
Per #Badgers officials: Crowl, Klesmit and Gilmore plan to use COVID year and return next season.

The Badgers will return their veterans as an influx of high school talent joins the program. Wisconsin’s class of 2024 ranks No. 27 nationally with top point guard Daniel Freitag leading the group.
This lines up to be a successful few years at the Kohl Center.
