Wisconsin vs UNC tip time and location set for NCAA Tournament Round of 64

The Badgers have a tip time for round one

The Wisconsin Badgers are heading to a familiar arena in round one of the NCAA Tournament, but that isn’t exactly a positive thing. As a 9-seed in the south region of the bracket, Wisconsin will open with 8-seed North Carolina at Mackey Arena, the home of the Purdue Boilermakers.

The Badgers are historically horrendous at Mackey Arena, granted they have never played an opponent not named Purdue in the building. Wisconsin is 4-42 all-time at Mackey Arena vs the Boilermakers, but they meet a different opponent in the building on Friday.

Wisconsin-UNC is scheduled for a 6:10 PM CT tip as the winner matches up with the winner of 1-seed Baylor and 16-seed Hartford in the Round of 32.
