Earlier this week, ESPN Bracketology expert Joe Lunardi revealed his latest NCAA Tournament projections. After starting the year on the bubble, Wisconsin has risen firmly into the conversation as an NCAA Tournament lock.
The Badgers are currently sitting on the six line, alongside Illinois, Texas, and Seton Hall. The Big Ten has Purdue listed as a No. 1 seed, and Michigan State entering in as a No. 3 seed. A number of Big Ten squads sit somewhere around the bubble, with Northwestern earning a No. 11 seed and being one of Lunardi’s last four teams in the field, while Minnesota sits as a No. 10 seed.
Here is a look at Lunardi’s complete seed listings from Monday:
Ironically, today's Last Team In (Creighton) and First Team Out (DePaul) were scheduled to play tonight in Chicago. 😞 pic.twitter.com/6SPfQVIFe7
