Wisconsin Badgers alter starting lineup for season opener against Denver Pioneers

The Wisconsin Badgers start their season on November 3, 2026, facing the Denver Pioneers at Kohl Center at 6:30 p.m. The Badgers have made a change to their starting lineup, replacing Jack Janicki with Braeden Carrington at shooting guard. Wisconsin's preseason ranked them 11th in the Big Ten, and they recently finished exhibition games with a perfect record. The team, under coach Greg Gard, has a revamped roster, featuring new players such as Owen Foxwell and Trey Autry, along with returning player Nolan Winter. Will Garlock's participation is uncertain due to a recent absence, potentially impacting the team's frontcourt depth as they head into the opener.
