The Wisconsin-Parkside Rangers Basketball program has a storied presence in the GLIAC, known for strong team-first basketball, competitive defense, and development of players who progress to regional and national prominence. Under the leadership of Luke Reigel, who earned the 2022-23 GLIAC Coach of the Year honor, Parkside achieved the GLIAC regular-season title and continued to develop talent year over year. The program emphasizes a balanced attack, with guards and wings contributing in scoring, playmaking, and defense. Notable recent standouts include Josiah Palmer and Jack Rose, who earned GLIAC First Team honors in 2024-25 and produced strong scoring and facilitating numbers.
Deeper program strengths include the upgraded De Simone Arena, which provides a modern home court environment for home games and recruits alike. The Bears Club and Nexus Courtside VIP experiences offer fans premium access to the game-day experience as part of Parkside’s commitment to bringing fans closer to the action.
