Wisconsin Fans Brutally Torch Team After Latest Loss

Published|Updated

Wisconsin basketball fans are fed up with the state of the Badgers.

Greg Gard and the Badgers fell to Illinois 91-83 Saturday afternoon, and the team is now a mediocre 18-11 and 10-8 in conference play.

To make matters even worse, Wisconsin is a humiliating 2-7 in the team's last nine games. Reminder, the team was ranked sixth in the country at the start of February. A little more than a month later and the team is fighting for its tournament life.

Wisconsin fans react to devastating Illinois loss.

Wisconsin fans have become increasingly angry as the downfall continues. It's one of the worst collapses in recent college basketball memory.

It's beyond pathetic, and fans let the team have it on social media following the Fighting Illini walking into Madison and walking out with a win.

Check out some of the fired up reactions below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

The reactions weren't any different on Instagram. Below is a little flavor of how fans reacted on the social media platform following the loss.

I truly don't even have the words to describe the frustration fans have right now with the state of the program and Greg Gard. Again, the Badgers were ranked sixth in the country at the start of February.

That feels like a lifetime ago. The latest ESPN bracketology projection, which were made prior to the loss, has Wisconsin as a six seed.

That's a complete and total joke. The Badgers don't deserve a six seed at this point, and I say that as someone who lives and breathes Wisconsin sports.

Wisconsin's final two regular season games are against Rutgers and Purdue. The Badgers desperately need a win, and I have no confidence they'll get it. Welcome to hell, gentlemen. It's part of life as a Wisconsin fan. Let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
