Following Sunday’s win, the Wisconsin Badgers found themselves at 17-13 with a 9-11 finish in the Big Ten.
This past week, the Badgers lost 63-61 at home against Purdue and held on for a 71-67 road win at Minnesota.
Entering last week, the Badgers sat in Joe Lunardi’s “Last Four In” category.
However, other teams on the bubble such as Penn State and Utah State built up their tournament resumes whereas Rutgers and Wisconsin found themselves slipping in the standings.
Wisconsin now stands in the “First Four Out” category behind Oklahoma State according to Joe Lunardi’s bracket prediction.
