2025 Tournament PreviewLittle was expected of Wisconsin this season, but coach Greg Gard guided the Badgers to eight Quad 1 wins, including a non-conference victory against Arizona and a trip to the Big Ten tournament final as the fifth seed. Transfer John Tonje (19.2 ppg, 5.3 rpg) has made all the difference, shooting 38.8 percent from the perimeter as the go-to option when the clock ticks down. Breakout sophomore John Blackwell (15.5 ppg, 5.1 rpg) is an excellent complement, often running point. The 7-0 Steven Crowl (9.6 ppg, 5.4 rpg) and 6-11 Nolan Winter (9.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg) anchor the interior. This is the best Badgers offense since the Frank Kaminsky days, ranking 13th in KenPom's efficiency metric, as they rarely turn the ball over and are the nation's top foul-shooting team at 82.8 percent. And with senior guard Max Klesmit (9.4 ppg, 2.7 apg) healthy again after a late-season injury, Wisconsin is a threat to get to the second weekend and beyond.
