Wisconsin basketball may have just flipped its entire season in ONE week.

After sitting on the NCAA Tournament bubble, the Badgers delivered a dream week with two massive statement wins over Illinois and Michigan State — and suddenly everything has changed. Just days ago, we were debating whether Wisconsin would even make the tournament. Now? The Badgers look like a lock. The real question becomes: how high can this team climb on the seed line?

On today’s show, we break down both signature wins, what changed in Wisconsin’s play, and whether this surge is sustainable heading toward March. Is this a team getting hot at the perfect time — or one revealing its true ceiling?

We also shift to Wisconsin football and discuss the departure of WR assistant coach Jordan Reid to the NFL. What does his loss mean for the wide receiver room, recruiting momentum, and the offense moving forward?

Plus, with spring practice around the corner, we reveal the five offensive players we’re most excited about — the playmakers and key pieces who could define Wisconsin’s offense in 2026.

Wisconsin basketball may be hitting its stride at exactly the right time. In this episode of Rajeev’s Corner, we dive into the Badgers’ late-season surge and the real, visible progression this team has made throughout the year. From lineup growth and smarter execution to improved confidence and identity, the positive changes are starting to show on the court.

This isn’t just about winning games — it’s about trajectory. The Badgers look more connected, more confident, and more dangerous than they did earlier in the season, and it’s creating real belief that Wisconsin could make a legitimate run in March.

Are the Badgers truly peaking at the perfect time? How real is the growth? And what would it take for this team to turn momentum into a deep March push?
