by: Evan Flood12/17/25Evan_Flood

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard addressed the media after Tuesday’s practice to rewind last Wednesday’s loss at Nebraska and preview Friday’s matchup against Villanova.

The Badgers suffered their most lopsided loss under Gard, falling 90-60 to the Cornhuskers in Lincoln. NU shot 54.1 percent from the field, 37 percent from 3-point range, scored 44 points in the paint, and scored on 58 percent of their offensive possessions.

Wisconsin will look to rebound on Friday against the Wildcats in Milwaukee. Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. from FiserV Forum.

Senior guard Andrew Rohde and sophomore guard Jack Janicki also met with Badger Blitz after practice:
