We are just 13 days away from Wisconsin’s season opener against Coppin State at the Kohl Center, and it can’t come soon enough. Badger fans are eager to move on from the debacle that was Wisconsin’s 2017-18 season and see their hoops program resume its winning ways.
Last season was defined by a slow start in which the Badgers shot themselves in the foot early with several brutal losses to ranked teams, crippling injuries to the backcourt, and the first losing record for the program in 20 years. While it was unquestionably a terrible outcome for a fan base that has grown accustomed to a sustained level of success, there are plenty of reasons for us to believe that this season will be a completely different story.
