When it comes to Wisconsin sports, the year 2022 was mostly disappointing, especially when compared to a 2021 season that featured a Milwaukee Bucks championship and strong performances from the Milwaukee Brewers and Green Bay Packers that simply weren't replicated this year.
The Bucks were edged by Boston in the 2022 Eastern Conference semifinals. The Packers struggled mightily. The Brewers missed the playoffs. The Badgers football team had to scratch and claw to be bowl eligible and underwent a stunning coaching change, and the surprising UW basketball team was ousted in the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament, even while playing in Milwaukee.
