Wisconsin men’s basketball will go dancing for the 18th straight year.
As a No. 7 seed, the Badgers (20-12 overall, 12-6 Big Ten) will take on No. 10 Pittsburgh (21-11 overall, 9-9 ACC) in its opening round matchup of the 2016 NCAA Tournament March 18. The position Wisconsin finds itself in will not be fortuitous for a third-consecutive Final Four run, but Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard and his team will treat the situation the same as any game — one at a time.
The Badgers’ first round opponent hasn’t fared nearly as well as UW this season though.
