John Tonje explains why he chose Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball
John Tonje spoke with reporters in a press conference on Wednesday, March 19, 2025, before Wisconsin’s first round matchup against Montana in the 2025 NCAA men’s basketball tournament.
At the first glance of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament pairings Sunday night, it appeared the selection committee decided to build the bracket before Wisconsin played a game in the Big Ten tournament.
Perhaps it’s fair that Wisconsin isn’t playing in Milwaukee this weekend. It was 2-6 against the other top seven teams in the league before last weekend’s victories in Indianapolis.
But why would a team that avenged two of those losses on a neutral court and played the last conference tournament game Sunday be assigned to tip off at 11:30 a.m. Mountain time Thursday?
Watch Wisconsin vs Montana on TNT
That’s madness in March for sure, but not of the buzzer-beating variety.
The Badgers will face No. 14 Montana in Denver. If they win Thursday, their reward is possibly No. 6 BYU, which features one of the top perimeter offenses in the country. The Cougars have a shorter trip to Denver. So much for the protected No. 3 seed.
But the Badgers are 2-0 in first-round games as a third-seeded team and are making a 24th NCAA tournament appearance in the last 26 years. Only four other teams have accomplished that — Gonzaga, Michigan State, Duke and Kansas.
Wisconsin lost its first-round game last season to 12th-seeded James Madison. Badgers fans are looking forward to a much more watchable game Thursday.

Wisconsin vs. Michigan Game Thread: Can’t let this one slip early
The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines on the road on Saturday, with tip-off set for 12:00 p.m. at the Crisler Center on CBS.
Wisconsin has seen some ups and downs this season, failing to secure a Quad 1 win through 15 games, as they’ve gone 0-5 in those opportunities. The team did pick up a nice win at home over the UCLA Bruins earlier this week, using a huge start to stay on top 80-72.
That got Wisconsin to 10-5 and added their third Quad 2 win of the season, but no matchup so far will compare to what the Badgers will face against the Michigan Wolverines, who have started 14-0 this season. Michigan has dominated its competition so far. They’ve beaten three ranked teams so far, and the lowest margin of victory in those games was 30 points.
But the Wolverines did face some trouble earlier this week, narrowly beating the 9-6 Penn State Nittany Lions 74-72 on the road.
Heading into Saturday, the Badgers are seen as 19.5-point underdogs, easily their biggest spread of the season as an underdog. Can they find a way to keep this one competitive?
Join us as our game thread is officially open for Saturday’s game!
