The Wisconsin basketball team is getting ready for their B1G opener with Maryland. The team dropped a hype video narrated by former Badger Sam Dekker ahead of tipoff.

Dekker played for Wisconsin from 2012-2014. The Badgers were B1G regular season champions last season, but will be hoping for a conference title this year.

The Badgers are off to a good start through their first eight games at 6-2. Now it’s time to prove themselves against a conference opponent. The Terps are not going to be a pushover.

Maryland is surging early on this season at 8-0. The 13th-ranked Terps are coming off of an upset win over No. 16 Illinois. Maryland beat Illinois 71-66 at home. First year coach Kevin Willard is looking like a great hire for the program so far.

This game should be a good test for Greg Gard’s team. Wisconsin is also feeling pretty good after beating in-state rival Marquette 80-77 in overtime.

Tipoff from Madison will be Tuesday at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN2.
