Football season might be just around the corner, but Wisconsin dropped its upcoming non-conference basketball slate on Tuesday.
During the 2020-21 season, the Badgers went 18-13, rising as high as No. 4 on the AP Poll during the regular season. Wisconsin beat North Carolina in the first round of the NCAA Tournament but was unable to keep up with Baylor in a second-round loss.
Heading into the 2021-22 campaign, the Badgers will be replacing some key players. Nevertheless, the non-conference slate for this upcoming season should be a great one.
Wisconsin starts the season with an Oct. 29 exhibition against Wisconsin-Whitewater. The regular season will tip off Nov. 9 against St. Francis Brooklyn.
Highlights from the non-conference slate for the Badgers include a trip to the Maui Invitational and a trip to Atlanta to face Georgia Tech in the ACC/B1G Challenge. Wisconsin will also host in-state rival Marquette on Dec. 4.
