MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin men’s basketball team continues its 2026-27 regular season slate against Delaware on Friday at the Kohl Center. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m. and tickets are available here.
The game will be streamed on B1G+. Fans can also listen to Matt Lepay and Charlie Wills on the Badger Radio Network.
LAST TIME OUT
The Wisconsin men's basketball team beat Denver, 75-68, on Monday night at the Kohl Center in its first game of the 2026-27 regular season. Owen Foxwell and Eian Elmer led the way for the Badgers (1-0) in their regular-season debuts. Foxwell controlled the point for Wisconsin with 14 points and 7 assists while Elmer added 18 points along with 5 rebounds. Braeden Carrington made his first career start at UW, scoring 15 with 3 from beyond the arc.
BADGER DEBUTS
Several new players saw their first minutes of regular season action for Wisconsin in Monday’s game against Denver. Eian Elmer, who transferred from Miami (Ohio) for his senior season, was the leading scorer for Wisconsin, contributing 18 points and 5 rebounds. Owen Foxwell, the overseas Badger signee from Australia, added 14 points along with a game-high 7 assists. The big Hofstra transfer Victory Onuetu provided 6 points and 4 rebounds in his debut.
HOME COURT ADVANTAGE
Wisconsin enters Friday's matchup riding a 20-game winning streak in nonconference home games at the Kohl Center, tied for the longest active streak in the Big Ten. The streak began in November 2023 and is now the fifth longest run in the Wisconsin basketball program’s history. The Badgers extended that streak with Monday's victory over Denver and will look to keep it going against Delaware on Friday.
AGAINST THE BLUE HENS
Friday night will mark the first-ever meeting between Wisconsin and the Blue Hens in program history. Three Delaware players have previously faced Wisconsin during their college careers. DeShawn Harris-Smith played against the Badgers twice while at Maryland, including a 16-point performance in the 2024 Big Ten Tournament. Kachi Nzeh and Jameel Brown also faced Wisconsin during their respective stints at Penn State.
Trey Autry is the lone Badger that has experience against the Blue Hens as the senior guard played UD twice during his stint at George Washington.
UP NEXT
Wisconsin will continue its homestand on Tuesday Nov. 10 against Fairfield at the Kohl Center. Tip-off is set for 7:30 p.m and the game will air live on Big Ten Network. Fans can also listen to Matt Lepay and Brian Butch on the Badger Radio Network.
