Wisconsin hit 19 of 20 free throws in the game Tues. night to beat Purdon't 69 - 65. Aleem Ford scored 19 to lead the Badgers. Bucky started hot from 3 hitting 11 of 23 shots. Then went cold missing 7 of the next 8. But they hit 8 straight FT to seal the win.
Wisconsin next hosts Rutgers on Sunday.

On the broadcast last night they were saying how a win for Purdue on the road over a near-lock for the tourney would've been a big win. Is Bucky a lock??
They have Rutgers, Minnesota, and Northwestern at home and @ Michigan and Indiana. If they go 3-2 that puts them right in the middle of Big Ten. They also have a couple of good non conference wins and only one bad non conference loss, to New Mexico. So yah, unless they 0-5 down the stretch and lose the 1st Big Ten tourney game they are a lock.
Ford must have really hated King
At Team Rankings, they predict the same finish 3-2 as Ammo does 
( 19-12 ) record, and a number 9 seed. Also a 99 % chance to make the field.
I've seen some bracketology that has them as high as a 7 seed. I think the seeding will be impacted on how well they do in the Big Ten Tourney.
