Wisconsin basketball continues to cement 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, defeating the Iowa Hawkeyes (NCAA NET No. 28) 84-71. Wisconsin improved to 19-8 (11-5 Big Ten) with the triumph. Notably, the team is now just one game out of position for a double-bye in the upcoming Big Ten Tournament.

More importantly, the Badgers boast 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 a team’s 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 currently projected, following its statement home win over Iowa.
