NCAA rule changes have brought the college basketball preseason out from behind the closed doors of so-called “secret scrimmages.” On Friday, Wisconsin basketball gets its season unofficially underway in its first-ever public preseason exhibition against a high-major opponent. Greg Gard and the new-look Wisconsin Badgers are headed to Milwaukee to take on the Oklahoma Sooners. Both Gard and OU head coach Porter Moser have brand-new rosters loaded with transfer portal talent, ready to take the court inside Fiserv Forum. After UW’s annual Red-White scrimmage, what, if anything, was revealed about Wisconsin’s overhauled team? Can the Badgers continue their three-point shooting prowess? Will the defense hold up with all the new moving pieces?Plus, what Oklahoma Sooners players should Wisconsin Badgers fans know heading into the matchup? Moser has re-tooled his roster with a slew of high-major contributors from around the country, including the original NIL wunderkind, former Miami Hurricanes guard Nigel Pack.*Watch on YouTube*Join Bucky's Burrow!*Follow Dillon Graff*Follow Brandon Cooper*Follow Ryan Eilers*Follow Kedrick on Bluesky or the website formerly known as Twitter*Follow the podcast on Twitter/XWe appreciate you taking the time to read our work at BadgerNotes.com.
