Preseason rating services like KenPom see a mediocre basketball campaign coming up for the Wisconsin Badgers.
Ken Pomeroy puts coach Greg Gard’s team at number-44 nationally and number-nine in the 14-team Big Ten.
Ken Pomeroy ranks the U-W defense 16th, but the offense only 82nd.
Bart Torvik puts the Badgers at number 54 in the country and number 11 on defense, but only 158th on offense.
He predicts a record of 16-and-13, including 9-11 in conference games.
All services seem to agree this will be a rebuilding year for Wisconsin.
