In perhaps the best season in Wisconsin men’s basketball program history, the Badgers marched to the Final Four for the second-consecutive season before falling to Duke in the national championship game.
Wisconsin earned its first No. 1 seed in program history and won a school-record 36 games. It was the first time the Badgers had played in the national championship since 1941 when UW took home its only national title.
But with the departure of Wisconsin’s top two players to the NBA, the 2015-16 Badgers won’t have an easy task in getting back to the Final Four.
