MADISON, WISC. - The 2025-26 Madison College men's basketball team has now set the standard for best start in program history, winning their sixth in a row after a resounding 119-95 upset of Waubonsee Community College in a key Region 4 clash on Wednesday inside H.

Five minutes into the second half, sophomore Braylen Blue knocked down back-to-back three-pointers to ignite 12-0 run, which was part of a bigger 21-5 stretch. From that point on, the WolfPack never let the lead dwindle any lower than 15, while also growing to as high as 25 before the final horn sounded.



McCormick, a guard from Janesville, Wisconsin, made 6 of 8 attempts from beyond the arc, as part of an 11 for 15 effort overall that resulted in a season-high 28 points.
