Greg Gard’s Shocking Taunt to Illinois Sparks Controversy After Wisconsin’s Stunning Upset Victory
Every now and then, a game doesn’t just end with a buzzer — it crafts a story, laced with unexpected humor and a dash of mischief. That’s exactly what unfolded when Wisconsin’s Greg Gard, usually the quiet mastermind behind the Badgers’ playbook, tiptoed into the locker room donning a blonde wig after their epic overtime triumph over No. 8 Illinois. It was part of a quirky giveaway for Jake Davis night at the State Farm Center, and let me tell you, the moment the wig appeared, the room exploded — not with boos, but with joyous water showers celebrating their coach. Sure, it was a rough night for the Illini, but they’re still boasting a solid 20-5 record and an 11-3 standing in Big Ten play. Now, all eyes shift forward: Wisconsin’s set to host the Hoosiers this Sunday, and you better believe the drama—and the wigs—could make a comeback.
Greg Gard: Silent Assassin.
Also, Greg Gard: Troll.
After the Badgers upset No. 8 Illinois 92-90 in overtime Tuesday night, video shows Gard stroll into Wisconsin’s locker room wearing a blonde wig.
The wigs were part of a giveaway for Jake Davis night at State Farm Center.
The wig only stayed on for a few moments as the Badgers showered their head coach with water.

Not the greatest night for the Illini, but they’re still 20-5 overall and 11-3 in Big Ten play.
Onto the next one: home against the Hoosiers on Sunday.
