(8) Oregon Ducks

The Oregon Ducks come into the 2015 NCAA Tournament with a 25-9 record and finished in a tie for second in the Pac-12 with a 13-5 conference record. Oregon also boasts an RPI ranking of 27 and their strength of schedule is 47th in the country. The Ducks have two very quality wins over a good Utah team and they are also winners of 13 of their last 16.
Oregon is led by senior guard Joseph Young who leads the team is scoring with 20.2 points per game. And the Badgers know Mr. Young very well. Last year in the third round, Young scored 29 points and did everything in his power to get the Ducks moving onto the next round of the tournament. Elgin Cook (13.2 ppg) and Dillon Brooks (11.5 ppg) are two other scorers that could provide a problem for the Badgers. Jordan Bell and Dwayne Benjamin may not put up points, but both players can clean up the glass. If Wisconsin does face Oregon, they will have to make sure they rebound the basketball and keep Young in check.
