The 2023-24 season was a turbulent one for the Wisconsin basketball program.
After climbing all the way up to No. 6 in the AP Top 25 Poll, the Badgers hit a late-season skid that set the team back, eventually culminating in a first-round exit in the NCAA Tournament to James Madison.
Since the final buzzer sounded in the 72-61 loss, Wisconsin basketball has seen players like AJ Storr, Connor Essegian, and Gus Yalden, among others, enter the transfer portal. Though there are some holes to fill, UW will return core contributors, including Chucky Hepburn, Steven Crowl, Max Klesmit, John Blackwell, and Kamari McGee, for the 2024-25 campaign.
