Wisconsin men’s basketball is set to play Montana State as part of its 2024-25 non-conference schedule on Nov. 7 in Madison, according to a report from college basketball analyst Rocco Miller.
The news arrives on the same day Wisconsin received its opener from the inaugural Greenbrier tip-off in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The Badgers will play the UCF Knights on Nov. 22.
The Badgers will also square off against in-state rival Marquette on Dec. 7, tip off against Butler in a neutral site contest and open their 2024-25 gauntlet with Holy Cross at home. All that comes before entering a gauntlet conference slate.
In terms of its conference schedule, UW will also host 10 Big Ten opponents this season, including new conference opponents Washington and Oregon. Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Ohio State and Penn State will all play at the Kohl Center.
