Wisconsin celebrated its national runner-up men's basketball team, which lost to Duke in the title game earlier this month.
The Badgers, who beat undefeated and No. 1 overall seed Kentucky in the national semifinals, made the Final Four for a second straight season and advanced to its first championship game since 1941, all on their way to winning a program-record 36 games.
Watch select Badgers get introduced to the gathering in the video above.
According to @BadgerMBB, senior star and national player of the year Frank Kaminsky and fellow senior Traevon Jackson were unable to attend the festivities.
Thanks again to fans at last night's celebration and thanks to all #Badgers for your support.https://t.co/x8zkomcSqT pic.twitter.com/MkvxRAUiPG
