Top wins of the Greg Gard era
No. 1: Wisconsin beat UW-Green Bay, 84-79, Dec. 23, 2015
Gard’s first victory almost wasn’t. Wisconsin lost all but three points of a 30-point second-half lead before closing out the game with a crucial blocked shot by junior Vitto Brown and 8-for-9 shooting from the free throw line. Junior Nigel Hayes finished with 24 points. Redshirt freshman Ethan Happ posted 16 points and eight boards. Brown finished the night with 15 points and team highs in rebounds (nine) and blocks (three).
No. 15: Wisconsin beats Xavier, 66-63, March 20, 2016
This is one of the most iconic victories of the Gard era and it gave the Badgers a spot in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. Junior Bronson Koenig is remembered for his last-second three-pointer from the corner. It was part of a breakout performance from a prolonged shooting slump. The La Crosse native drilled 6 three-pointers, including the bucket that tied the game with 14 seconds left.
No. 42: Wisconsin stuns No. 1 Villanova, March 17, 2017
The Badgers rallied from a seven-point deficit with 5½ minutes to play to defeat a Wildcats squad loaded with future NBA players Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges and Donte DiVincenzo. Bronson Koenig hit 2 threes and score eight points during the comeback. Nigel Hayes had two buckets, including the go-ahead score with 11.4 seconds left. This victory sent the Badgers to the Sweet 16 for the fourth straight season to tie a Big Ten record shared with four other programs.
No. 101: Wisconsin beats Indiana, clinches Big Ten title share, March 7, 2020
The Badgers finished the season in a three-way tie for the Big Ten title with Maryland and Michigan State, but they won their share first, rallying from a seven-point deficit with 7 minutes to play to win their eighth straight game. Junior Nate Reuvers finished with 17 points for UW, Junior Micah Potter posted 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Brad Davison, also a junior, sealed the win with two free throws with 7.1 seconds to play.
No. 143: Wisconsin beats Purdue to gain Big Ten title share, March 1, 2022
Chucky Hepburn banked in a three-pointer with 1.5 seconds to play to lift Wisconsin to a victory that assured it of a share of the Big Ten crown. The points capped what was at the time a career-high 17 points for the freshman point guard. Junior Tyler Wahl led Wisconsin in points (19) and steals (five). Hepburn went 4 for 6 from three-point range and sophomore guard Johnny Davis flirted with a double-double (16 points, eight rebounds).

Pat Fitzgerald targeting former Wisconsin coach for assistant role
Former Wisconsin cornerbacks coach Hank Poteat is Michigan State’s target for its next defensive backs coach, according to 247Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
The Spartans are rebuilding their coaching staff after the recent hire of longtime Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald, who last coached in 2022, is tasked with turning around a Michigan State program that has not registered a winning season since 2021.
Poteat would bring extensive experience to the Spartans’ secondary. The longtime NFL cornerback has coached the position for the last decade. He started at Kent State in 2015-16, then spent four seasons at Toledo, two at Wisconsin (2021-22), and finally the last three at Iowa State. Poteat was part of a 2021 Wisconsin defensive coaching staff that led the unit to program and Power Four-best marks.
Wisconsin hosts Michigan State at Camp Randall Stadium in 2026. The Spartans’ early-season form under their new coaching staff will be worth watching.
