Wisconsin basketball continues to strengthen its position in NCAA Tournament bracket projections.
After falling on the road at Ohio State last week, the Badgers added an impressive Quad 1 win to their resume on Sunday by defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes (NCAA NET No. 28) 84-71. Notably, Wisconsin (19-8, 11-5 Big Ten) is just one game out of position for a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament.
More importantly, the Badgers possess a well-rounded resume as they enter the final stretch of the regular season. The team’s 11 conference wins include defining triumphs over then-No. 2 Michigan, No. 8 Illinois and No. 10 Michigan State. Those wins represent three of the team’s five against Quad 1 opponents, a key metric for NCAA Tournament seeding.
The NCAA NET rankings give a good indication of how Wisconsin’s resume stacks up against the rest of the sport. Here is where the team is projected following its statement home win over Iowa.
