Wisconsin men’s basketball: UW back in the NCAA Tournament according to Joe Lunardi

Coming into the season, the Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team was predicted to finish closer to the bottom of the Big Ten than the top. If people thought they were going to make the NCAA Tournament, they thought they’d be on the bubble all the way until Selection Sunday. However, Wisconsin have played far above expectations and, as such, have played themselves right into ESPN’s Joe Lunardi’s most recent bracket.

Lunardi has the 2021 Maui Invitational champs as one of the last four byes! Recent opponents Saint Mary’s (last four in) and Providence (next four out) are also right on the bubble.
