Badgers basketball is projected to finish in the middle of the pack of the Big Ten Conference next winter.
Andy Katz of the Big Ten Network ranks Purdue number one, followed by Michigan and Ohio State.
The Badgers are ranked eighth among the 14 teams.
Wisconsin will have a much-younger team this season led by sophomore Jonathan Davis and senior Brad Davison.
Most of last season’s production has left, however, incoming players represent one of the strongest recruiting classes in program history.
This season’s youth is in contrast with last season when Wisconsin’s starting lineup was actually older than the Chicago Bulls at one point.
