Wisconsin needs to shoot better in this category if they want to advance in the NCAA Tournament

The Wisconsin Badgers are gearing up to face the Montana Grizzlies on Thursday, with tip-off set for 12:30 p.m. central at the Ball Arena in Denver.

Landing a No. 3 seed in the East Region on Selection Sunday, the Badgers are well-positioned to make a run and potentially reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2017.

But, before that, they have to take care of business this weekend, starting with Montana on Thursday, where the Badgers are a 17.5-point favorite entering the game.

Looking back at last week, Wisconsin really came on the scene strong, overcoming a poor finish to the regular season with wins over the Northwestern Wildcats, UCLA Bruins, and Michigan State Spartans on consecutive days to reach the Big Ten Championship Game.
