Joe Lunardi and ESPN released their latest Bracketology on Tuesday and Wisconsin landed on the “Next Four Out” section. This means that as of today, the Badgers would miss the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2018 according to Lunardi’s projections.
Greg Gard’s squad has had a fall from grace since the new year after starting the season 12-2, as they’re now sitting at 13-10 on the campaign. The 1-8 stretch has been partly due to the injuries that Tyler Wahl (ankle) and Max Klesmit (upper body) suffered, with those two missing five games combined, but even with a full starting lineup, the team has struggled greatly.
At this point in the season, Wisconsin doesn’t have much time to turn it around and will have to go on a substantial run to earn a ticket to March Madness. They’re next contest will come Wednesday night at 7:30 PM on the road at Penn State (14-10).
