Badgers Eye Final Four Spot in NCAA Tournament

0:00On March 15th, the Wisconsin Badgers lost a close one to the Michigan Wolverines, 68-65, and the Big Ten tournament on Saturday, that sent them packing a day early. But now all eyes turned to Selection Sunday and the NCAA tournament bracket reveal. Over the last two weeks though, the Badgers put together a strong 5-game winning streak. They knocked off tough teams like Maryland, Purdue, Washington twice, and Illinois, picking up key quad one wins to strengthen their resume. Fans and analysts see this as a solid setup for a number five seed or better. The bracket should keep them away from Michigan and Illinois early on, avoiding repeat matchups from the conference tournament. Their odds to reach the final four have jumped from plus 3,500 to plus 1,500 at FANDU, giving them the 15th best mark, nationwide. The team has made the second weekend since 2017, so the draw could make all the difference, especially with potential number one seed. Clashes in the sweet 16.
