OT: Badgers to Play Oklahoma

[Goose85]

I thought this was an interesting home and home series.

Wisconsin and Oklahoma will begin a home-and-home series starting Nov. 29 in Norman, sources told CBSSports.com.

Lon Kruger and Bo Ryan are good friends. When Kruger was at UNLV, they scheduled a series with them as well. I also think Ryan was an assistant for Kruger once on some Team USA team.

Kruger must be a Platteville guy.

I am just surprised that Bo is actually scheduling a tough non conference opponent. In the past, he has MU and what ever tourney they are in and that has been about it.

OU could be a Top 15 team next season.

Wisconsin & Temple will start 12/5/15 in Madison as H/H series.

For as big of a turd as Bo Ryan can be, he sure makes friends with quality people. Kruger is one of the best people in college coaching today.

This game will be a really tough one for the Badgers. OU got B12 POY Buddy Hield to skip the draft and come back for his senior year, and have a strong roster. Definitely a top team next season assuming health.

Seriously, who care about UW's schedule and Bo Ryan's friends....... (:

That could be a very desperate Badger team we face on December 12. They play in the 2K Classic, which features Duke, Georgetown, and VCU. I think they'd beat the Rams, but can't see them beating either Duke or Georgetown, especially not that early in the season. Oklahoma will be a very good team and on the road are another likely loss. And Temple the week before won't be easy. They return most of a lineup that made a deep NIT run after going 13-5 in the A-10. Depending on the Big 10/ACC Challenge (likely on the road after hosting Duke last year) the Badgers could easily have 4-5 losses when Marquette comes to town on December 12.
