Tip time, TV channel announced for Wisconsin basketball March Madness opener vs. Montana
The No. 3-seed Wisconsin Badgers will open their 2025 NCAA Tournament quest on Thursday afternoon against No. 14-seed Montana.
Wisconsin enters March Madness after a disappointing loss to Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament championship game. Still, the team will carry significant momentum into the big dance after a successful conference tournament run, with victories over Northwestern, UCLA and Michigan State. The 26-9 Badgers are KenPom's No. 13-ranked team in the sport and the tournament's No. 12 overall seed.
Their opponent, the Montana Grizzlies, finished the season at 25-9, winning three straight postseason contests to capture the Big Sky Tournament title. Montana is KenPom's No. 157 overall team and the NCAA Tournament's No. 58 overall seed.
As recently announced, the Badgers and Grizzlies will tip off at 1:30 p.m. ET, 12:30 p.m. CT on Thursday afternoon. TNT will broadcast the game as part of its wire-to-wire March Madness coverage.
