Wisconsin basketball went 1-1 last week with its remarkable 64-59 comeback win over Indiana and 73-55 blowout loss to Ohio State.
I’d argue the week was a net positive despite Saturday’s loss, as the team continued to stack wins in impressive ways and now has a game (Ohio State) to point to when talking about where to improve as a team.
Despite the Badgers now 8-2 record (1-1 Big Ten) and No. 22 rank in last week’s AP Poll, today’s poll dropped the team outside of the Top 25. The Badgers are the leaders of the group of “others receiving votes,” so the drop outside the ranking was not a severe one.
Greg Gard and his team now have a chance to bounce back with a Wednesday home contest against Nicholls.
