Projected seed: 7
Wisconsin's current standing shows promise, but their limited resume and the challenges ahead weigh heavily on their overall prospects. The early wins against weaker opponents, such as Holy Cross and Appalachian State, offer little in terms of boosting credibility. While their victory over Arizona is noteworthy, the inconsistency reflected in their defensive ranking raises concerns. Upcoming games will be critical, especially facing heavyweights like Illinois and Marquette, where performances can significantly impact their tournament positioning. Moreover, how they navigate the Big Ten schedule will be telling; a strong record against middle-tier teams like Iowa and Michigan could solidify their case, while struggling against top opponents may jeopardize their standing.
