Message from the President

Welcome Badger Fans to the 2020-2021 Men’s Basketball Season. Who’s ready to watch the team defend their Big Ten championship? I think we are all ready to support the team.

With the majority of the team coming back and some highly rated recruits joining the team, it is sure to be an exciting time at the Kohl Center. Don’t miss out on any of the action! With that in mind, we invite you to get involved with the Badger Men’s basketball program for the upcoming season and beyond. Please consider becoming a member of the Badger Basketball Boosters today! Don’t miss the opportunity to participate in a variety of unique and popular events, such as:

Annual Fall Steak Fry & Tip-Off

We thank you for all of your past, present and future support. On, Wisconsin! John Hemming

Message from Greg Gard

What a whirlwind the last 12 months has been for everyone involved in Badger Basketball. An offseason filled with pain, heartache and some of life’s most humbling lessons, bloomed into a season of incredible inspiration. As I said many times late in the year, I felt so much pride and gratitude for what our team was able to accomplish. Our group of young men exemplified the idea of selflessness, toughness and perseverance while rising above countless challenges thrown in their way. I hope you were filled with both a sense of joy and appreciation while watching them compete and grow throughout the year. Going through this past season’s journey taught us a lot as a team and gave us an even greater appreciation for the incredible support we have from Wisconsin fans. There is no doubt in my mind that the loyalty driven from our supporters fueled us down the stretch and helped us bring home the 2020 Big Ten championship. The unfortunate cancellation of the postseason also gave us perspective and reiterated that life can throw you some cruel and unforgiving circumstances. As we look ahead to the 2020-21 season, we will blend a mature and accomplished group of veterans who are hungry to reach even greater heights with a deep and talented freshman class eager to make their mark in a storied program. I’ve been in college basketball for a long time now and I know how special it is to have a group like the Badger Basketball Booster Club. You are a vital part of our program and your unmatched passion and support plays a crucial role in assisting our staff and student-athletes through fundraising and sponsorship. We sincerely hope you will consider joining our Wisconsin Basketball family by becoming a member of the Badger Basketball Boosters. Greg Gard
