3. Wisconsin (19-10, 11-5)
Last Week: 3

Wisconsin continues to be one of the hottest teams in the country.  Sunday’s win over Michigan marked the Badgers tenth win in eleven tries.  Earlier in the week, Wisconsin went into Carver-Hawkeye Arena and became the first team all season to walk out with a win.  Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig made big shots for the Badgers late in that game, and did much of the same in the win over Michigan.

This team is firing on all cylinders right now and is a team nobody wants to see in March.  While the team is very young, both Hayes and Koenig played major roles in each of Wisconsin’s Final Four runs.  Don’t count out a deep tournament run for the Badgers, not with the way they are playing right now.  Wisconsin travels to the Barn on Wednesday to face Minnesota before the aforementioned game at Purdue on Sunday to end the season.
