Wisconsin’s March Madness run is over… and it ended in stunning fashion.

In this episode of The Bucky Report, we break down the Badgers’ shocking loss to High Point, one of the most disappointing and frustrating NCAA Tournament exits in recent memory. How did Wisconsin let this happen? What went wrong in the biggest moment of the season? And what does this say about the program moving forward?

We dive deep into the collapse vs High Point, including late-game execution issues, coaching decisions, player performances, and the growing concerns that continue to show up in March. This wasn’t just an upset — this was a complete breakdown.

Plus, we shift gears to Wisconsin Football spring practice, discussing early reports, emerging storylines, and what we’re hearing about the Badgers as they begin building toward the 2026 season.

If you’re a Wisconsin fan trying to make sense of this loss… you’re not alone.

In this episode of Rajeev’s Corner, I dive into the newly proposed 24-team College Football Playoff format backed by the Big Ten — and why I absolutely love the idea. From more meaningful late-season games to incredible campus playoff environments and expanded access across college football, I explain why this proposal could actually be great for the sport.

Then we shift to Wisconsin basketball, where the Badgers have once again finished off a strong Big Ten regular season. It’s time to talk about Greg Gard and the consistency he’s brought to the program. Wisconsin fans sometimes take the program’s high floor for granted, but Gard has quietly built one of the most reliable teams in the conference year after year.

More playoff football, another strong Badgers season, and a little perspective on why both might deserve more appreciation.

Wisconsin basketball may have just flipped its entire season in ONE week.

After sitting on the NCAA Tournament bubble, the Badgers delivered a dream week with two massive statement wins over Illinois and Michigan State — and suddenly everything has changed.

Wisconsin basketball may be hitting its stride at exactly the right time.

From lineup growth and smarter execution to improved confidence and identity, the positive changes are starting to show on the court.

Are the Badgers truly peaking at the perfect time? How real is the growth? And what would it take for this team to turn momentum into a deep March push?
