In their ninth-straight Sweet Sixteen appearance, the No. 4 seeded Wiscosnin Badgers (17-3 Big Ten, 27-3 overall) will get the luxury of home cooking for the fourth time under head coach Kelly Sheffield.
Four of the best teams in all the land travel to Madison for this regional, with the No. 13 seed UCLA Bruins (16-4 Pac-12, 25-5 overall) advancing after a couple tough wins over Fairfield and UCF. While the Badgers had two clean sweeps over Colgate and FGCU, UCLA was pushed to extra points twice in their opening round match up against Fairfield, but pulled off the sweep (29-27, 25-23, 26-24).
