The Wisconsin Badgers will face a familiar postseason opponent on Friday afternoon when they take on the Oregon Ducks in a first-round NCAA Tournament matchup inside the SAP Center in San Jose.
Both teams placed in the South region of the bracket, No. 5 seed Wisconsin (23-10) comes off a regular season where it rebounded to finish fourth in the Big Ten Conference standings once again and will be dancing after missing out during a disappointing 2017-18 campaign.
For red hot Oregon (23-12), Dana Altman’s team rides an eight-game winning streak into the Big Dance and captured the Pac-12 Tournament championship with a demonstrative win over regular season champion Washington.
