Syracuse to reportedly host defending national runner-up Wisconsin in ACC-Big Ten challenge

Syracuse will host defending national runner-up Wisconsin in the Atlantic Coast Conference-Big Ten challenge, ESPN reported on Wednesday afternoon.

The Badgers lost to Duke in the 2015 championship game, 68-63, and finished the regular season with a 36-4 record. John R. Wooden Award winner Frank Kaminsky graduated along with point guard Traevon Jackson, and stretch forward Sam Dekker declared early for the NBA Draft. UW will return forward Nigel Hayes and guard Bronson Koenig.

SU head coach Jim Boeheim is currently sitting at 966 wins while the NCAA determines how many will be taken away as a result of the violations committed during his tenure.
