The Wisconsin Badgers are basically a lock now for the No. 5 seed in the NCAA Tournament, according to almost every major bracketologist. There is some that still think Wisconsin will land in the No. 6 seed line but it’s hard to imagine considering how the other seeds in this range finished the season.
Tomorrow, the selection committee will make the official determination, but if anything, the Big Ten Tournament only sealed the fate of the Badgers. There really wasn’t a chance to move up to the No. 4 seed line even with a Big Ten Tournament title (maybe, but probably not). That No. 4 seed line is hard to break into with Vanderbilt, Kansas, Alabama, Virginia, and Arkansas all fighting for those spots.
