On Selection Sunday, it was learned that Pitt's NCAA Tournament opponent would be the No. 7 seeded Wisconsin Badgers. Like Pitt, the Badgers have seen their share of ups and downs this year.
Wisconsin has their share of quality wins. They defeated NCAA Tournament teams Syracuse and Temple in back-to-back games in the non-conference schedule. They had an impressive win over a ranked Indiana team. And in defeating Michigan State, Maryland, and Iowa, they knocked off three teams that were all ranked in the top ten at the time of the game. They also nearly defeated Maryland and Indiana a second time, too, losing by a combined four points.
