Wisconsin Heads West & Gets Oregon (Again.)
Wisconsin Badgers found out where they’re going to play for the NCAA Tournament. They’ll be heading to San Jose, California to take on the red hot 12th seeded Oregon Ducks. The draw that Wisconsin has though is rather favorable. I know Oregon has been red hot, but to me, the Ducks feel like the classic hot team that runs out of gas coming into the tournament. Oregon beating Wisconsin will be a very popular upset among people’s brackets. It is unfortunate for the Badgers that they could play two teams from West whilst out in California.

It could be a late night for Badgers fans considering they’re out West as well. The bars across the state will hope for a late start on Friday. If Wisconsin wins, they’ll play either Kansas State or UC Irvine in the second round. UC Irvine has been one of the best mid-majors this season while K-State has been up and down all year. Dean Wade is hurt again which has been part of the struggles for the Wildcats.
This is the third time in five years that the Badgers will play Oregon in the NCAA Tournament. Wisconsin won both of those games.
