Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Wisconsin fans and fans across the country.
The Wisconsin Badgers revealed their non-conference schedule for the upcoming season on Monday, and it had a couple of exciting games, on top of some home contests where they should be clear favorites.

Wisconsin opens its regular season slate with Denver on November 2nd, but the action begins before that with three preseason games. Wisconsin will host UW-Parkside in an exhibition game before traveling to Green Bay to face UW-Green Bay. Then, they cap things off with a home exhibition game against Oklahoma State one week before the regular season starts.
Inside the regular season, there are a couple of fun matchups in both November and December. After four home games to start the year, Wisconsin heads to the Bahamas for the Baha Mar Invitational, where they’ll play NC State and Seton Hall.
They’ve also got their annual matchup against Marquette, which will be in Milwaukee this year, in December. That’s later followed by fun matchups against Villanova (Philly Hoops Showdown) and Auburn (Bad Boy Mower’s Series) before the non-conference slate ends on December 30th with a home game against Colorado State.
Each of these teams should look different this season compared to last. NC State has a new head coach, hiring Justin Gainey from Tennessee after Will Wade’s departure. Seton Hall was quite active in the transfer portal this offseason. Marquette spent some money after a disappointing season. And Villanova and Auburn are both hoping to be more competitive this year.
