“Any time you get the chance to schedule a powerhouse program like Villanova it’s a win-win,” Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said in a release. “We get the chance to measure ourselves in the non-conference and Badgers fans in Wisconsin get to see a big-time college basketball game.”
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Sept. 24, with a presale opportunity for UW donors and men’s basketball season ticket holders happening in mid-September.
Head coach Greg Gard and Wisconsin will face Villanova at Fiserv Forum on Dec. 19.
The Milwaukee game will be the third all-time meeting between Wisconsin and Villanova. The most recent game was in the 2017 NCAA Tournament, when the Badgers upset top-seeded Villanova, 65-62.

Wisconsin also will play Oklahoma at Fiserv Forum on Oct. 24 for an exhibition game.
“Much like our exhibition against Oklahoma, I’m excited for our fans and alumni in Milwaukee to get a game in their backyard,” Gard said in the Friday release. “The atmosphere has been awesome every time we’ve played in that area and I have no doubt Fiserv will be filled with red for these games as well.”
