This. Is. March.
The Wisconsin Badgers have a tough hill to climb to find their way into the NCAA Tournament and be a part of the 2018 edition of March Madness. That doesn’t mean they are completely without a shot, but UW will need to run the table in the Big Ten Tournament, starting with a Thursday morning match-up against the Maryland Terrapins at Madison Square Garden.
Wisconsin (14–17, 7–11 Big Ten) comes in as the No. 9 seed after winning four of its last six games. The Badgers, with a Herculean effort from Brad Davison (career-high 30 points), battled the No. 2 team in the nation on Sunday before ultimately falling to Michigan State 68–63 to conclude the regular season.
Maryland (19–12, 8–10) looks to wipe away a sour taste after a disappointing 85–61 loss at home to Michigan on Feb. 24.
