The Wisconsin Badgers head back to the Big Dance this year after a brief one-season hiatus last March. The Badgers were selected to the South Region where they will take on the Pac-12 Tournament champion Oregon Ducks on Friday afternoon (approx. 3:30 p.m. CT, TBS).
The Ducks had an up and down season this year but are playing their best basketball currently as they rattled off eight straight wins—including four consecutive victories to take home the Pac-12 crown and get into the NCAA Tournament. When the Ducks have had success, it has largely been because of their vigorous defense which has allowed just 62 points per game, which led their conference.
