2. Wisconsin Badgers (8-2)

  • Best win: vs. Syracuse
  • Worst loss: at Creighton

To those who were quick to write off the Badgers after their two losses, you look mighty foolish right now. North Carolina has proven they are one of the top teams in the nation, while the road loss in Creighton (which Wisconsin was in until the last five minutes or so) looks better and better every day as the Bluejays are primed to be undefeated entering Big East action.

Winners of four straight, the Badgers have endured one of the tougher schedules of any Big Ten teams, playing three of the four teams from last year’s Final Four and three games against in-state rivals still upcoming. Wisconsin will be looking for its first road game victory of the year when they visit Marquette on Saturday. The Badgers lost by two points at home to the Golden Eagles last season and are looking to get revenge on one of their biggest rivals.
