A No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament? That would be an unheard of degree of surpassing.
The Badgers (17-3) leaped to that top line in the week by week "Bracketology" projections by CBS Sports essayist Jerry Palm, who gave the Badgers the edge over Kansas. Reddish-brown, Gonzaga and Baylor joined UW on that top line, with Purdue, UCLA, Providence and the Jayhawks down to the No. 2 line.
Palm's section has Wisconsin confronting Longwood in the first round (in Milwaukee) and afterward meeting No. 8 Iona or No. 9 Oklahoma in the second round. Marquette, coincidentally, is cultivated seventh and fixed to meet No. 10 San Diego State in Indianapolis, with one or the other No. 2 Purdue or No. 15 Arkansas State straightaway.
It's a possibly disputable arrangement for the Badgers, a group that high-profile PC rankings don't view as a best five group in the country.
Through Monday's games, the NCAA's NET Rankings had Wisconsin at No. 21 (with Marquette at No. 28). The Pomeroy College Basketball Rankings (otherwise called Kenpom) has Wisconsin at 26 and Marquette at 29.
All things considered, Wisconsin had as quite a large number "quadrant 1" wins as anybody in the country with seven and has a 10-0 record in the other three quadrants.
Joe Lunardi of ESPN, who refreshed his own Bracketology offering Tuesday, has the Badgers as a No. 3 seed (additionally in Milwaukee), confronting Oakland in the first round, with an opportunity to confront No. 6 LSU or No. 11 San Diego State or Creighton in the following matchup.
Marquette, in the interim, is recorded as a No. 5 in Buffalo against No. 12 Iona, with No. 4 Tennessee or No. 13 Drake following up.
