Wisconsin basketball is as trendy of a 5-12 upset as I remember. The No. 5 seed has always come with some bad vibes. Since the NCAA tournament field expanded in 1985, the lower seed is 53-99 in the matchup. In fact, a 12 has advanced to the round of 32 in all but six of the past 38 tournaments.
James Madison is a good basketball team. The Dukes have amassed an impressive 31-3 record, but is the luster of that big number casting a mirage over an underwhelming Sun Belt Conference?
