The Wisconsin Badgers have continued to bolster their non-conference schedule, finalizing an agreement to play a home-and-home with the Villanova Wildcats starting this season.
Wisconsin will host Villanova on December 19th at the Fiserv Forum, according to Jon Rothstein, while the return game will be at the Wells Fargo Center during the 2026-27 season.
The Badgers have played only one game ever against the Wildcats, which came back in 2017 during the NCAA Tournament, when Wisconsin beat Villanova 65-62 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen.
But, the Wildcats have a brand new team this year, headlined by new head coach Kevin Willard, who jumped ship from the Maryland Terrapins after their NCAA run.
