ESPN college basketball insider Joe Lunardi released his latest Bracketology column on July 15, and the Badgers are projected as high as they have been by any publication.
In the mock 68 team NCAA tournament, Lunardi placed the Badgers as a two seed in Wisconsin’s favorite west region. The Badgers were on the same seed line as Michigan State, who landed as the two seed in the east region. The Big Ten led the bracket with nine teams in, tied with the ACC who also had nine squads in the field.
Here are the other Big Ten teams that made it in:
Illinois- 9 seed
Rutgers- 6 seed
Purdue- 7 seed
Ohio State- 4 seed
Michigan- 7 seed
Iowa- 3 seed
Indiana- 6 seed
