Badger men BB team debuts and 23rd in the AP Poll. They are 26th in the Coaches Poll. Arizona is the new #1 and the Badgers will get a chance to knock them out next Saturday.

Nice stretch in the Badgers schedule, Marquette, Michigan State tonight, Arizona Saturday.
Steadily climbing in the polls.
Now # 11 in the AP poll, up 4 spots from last week. And # 8 in the Coaches poll, up 7 spots from last week. How much higher can they go? Can this be a repeat of 2007?
So the Badgers dropped 2 in each poll. Now 13 in A P and 10 in Coaches. Not unexpected.
Lunardi sure likes Bucky. Jan.23,2024
Holy SHITE!!!!! Bucky Badger up to #6 in both polls. Jumped 7 in the AP and 4 in the Coaches.
If they only had a coach
Where are all those nattering nabobs?
So #3 North Carolina and #5 Tennessee both lost tonight. If Bucky can beat Nebraska and then Purdon't could they jump to #2 next Monday?
NW and Purdue in a tight one at Purdue. 78-78 with 1:09 left. C'mon, NW beat these guys in Macky Arena!
37.3 left. Berry shooting 3 FTs makes it 81-80 NW. Purdue in the double bonus and Purdue only has 4 fouls, this half.
Edy to the line and.makes one to tie it. Misses the 2nd FT. 6.2 left. NW time out. Buie time!
Buie drives & puts up a floater, Short! Edy calls time out with .2 on the clock. OT coming.
90-93 Purdue with 56.7 left in OT.
Good game, but too much foul trouble for NW to pull this one out. NW could have helped the Badgers with a win.
I know Purdue has the big guy plus NW was fouling at the end, but 46 FT attempts for Purdue to 8 for NW? Oof.
Down 5 in the AP to 11th and down 3 in the Coaches to 9th. I can live with that.
CBS Bracketologist Jerry Palm, has Wisconsin as a # 3 seed in his latest Bracket predictions. Plenty of work to do in practice this week. Front row seats going for 2 bucks in Crisler Center Wednesday night vs Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeechigan.

They will be back, rightly so.
Fell out of top 25. #28 in AP, #33 in Coaches. Ranked below MSU even tho Bucky beat them twice. Lots of blue bloods drop out of 25. Virginia, Oklahoma, Badgers.
I think we need 2 more wins and we're a lock.
Jerry Palm has Wisconsin a 5 seed in the West Bracket.
Amazing what 3 wins can do for a team. The Badgers got 0, ZERO, NADA votes in week 19. However they rebounded into #23 in the final AP poll and #24 in the Coaches poll. 1st round opponent James Madison was #30 in the AP and #29 in the Coaches.
Interesting that SI has the James Madison Dukes as the 19th best team in the NCAA and the Badgers are the 20th. All 68 teams are ranked in the link.
How are our walking wounded?
Couldn't find much so everyone seems to be good to go.
