(UW ATHLETICS) – The Wisconsin men’s basketball team will wrap up its 2026-27 exhibition slate against Oklahoma State on Tuesday at the Kohl Center. Tipoff is set for 6 p.m.

Last Thursday the Badgers defeated Green Bay 96-77 on Thursday night at the Resch Center in its second exhibition of the 2026-27 campaign. Wisconsin had a big run in the second half to extend their lead. Owen Foxwell led the way with 21 points, including 16 in the first half, to go along with 6 assists and 4 steals. Braeden Carrington added 20 off the bench to help Wisconsin to its second exhibition win of the season.

The Badgers are deep: Head coach Greg Gard emphasized the Badgers’ depth following their exhibition win over Green Bay, and Oklahoma State will present their biggest test yet. Against Green Bay, Wisconsin had 11 players log more than eight minutes, with 10 of them posting points.

Been a while: The Badgers will meet the Cowboys for just the second time in program history and the first time since 1983. Oklahoma State defeated Wisconsin 89-84 in their only previous matchup. The Cowboys fell to New Mexico 99-89 in their exhibition opener in Stillwater. Wisconsin will need to keep an eye on Oklahoma State freshman Anthony Felesi, a Utah Prep product who scored 18 points in the team’s first exhibition and is expected to make an immediate impact this season.

And then what: Wisconsin will open up its 2026-27 regular season slate on Monday Nov. 2 against Denver at the Kohl Center. Tip-off is set for 6:30 p.m and the game will be streamed on B1G+. Fans can also listen to Matt Lepay and Charlie Wills on the Badger Radio Network.
