Greg Gard and the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball program followed up disappointing a season where the Badgers missed the NCAA Tournament by returning to the Big Dance and earning a 5-seed.
The Badgers reached as high as No. 6 in the Associated Press Top 25 polls this season before a February skid brought them back to earth. When all was said and done, Wisconsin basketball fell one game shy of a Big Ten tournament title and went home in the Round of 64.
Despite the vocal minority of fans calling for Wisconsin to part ways with Gard, Athletic Director Chris McIntosh confirmed that he would be returning next season.
