Opening night finally arrived at the Kohl Center as Greg Gard and the No. 24 Wisconsin men’s basketball team tipped off the 2025–26 season against head coach John Andrzejek and the Campbell Fighting Camels.
The Badgers opened their season the way they usually do: with a win at home. It marked their 10th straight home-opening victory and 27th in the last 28 years, as coach Gard improved to a perfect 10–0 in home openers.
After leading by just five points with a little over 10 minutes to play, Wisconsin closed the game on a 31–4 run and cruised to a 96–64 victory in front of 13,695 fans.
