Wisconsin’s Shocking March Madness Exit: Could This Season Have Been a Stunning Comeback?
Even in the wake of Wisconsin’s stinging first-round exit, a WDJT-TV camera picked up point guard Nick Boyd saying they “got to keep fighting” as he walked back to the locker room for one last time in a Wisconsin uniform.
But Wisconsin’s 2025-26 fight once again ended prematurely with the fifth-seeded Badgers’ 83-82 loss to 12th-seeded High Point in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Yes, it is the infamous five-12 upset. Yes, High Point is a good team, as evident by its 31 wins and competitiveness against fourth-seeded Arkansas in the second round. But in a bracket where the 19 other teams seeded No. 5 or better advanced at least to the second round, UW’s season followed an all too familiar script.
