The Wisconsin Badgers are one of the hottest teams in the country right now. They've been flying high with big wins over Purdue and Illinois as part of a string of five straight Big Ten wins. The national attention is starting to come in as the Badgers continue to succeed. Bracketologists and pundits are talking about them and for good reason.

The Wisconsin Badgers have one of the best resumes in the country.

We were able to talk to one of the top bracketologists right now with nearly 30k followers on X and one of the more accurate forecasters of the NCAA tournament selection committees' seedings and arrangements. We asked some good Wisconsin-focused questions about how high this team can rise.

Q&A with JBR Bracketology on Wisconsin basketball

1. Where do you currently have Wisconsin? And what would need to happen for them to stay there?

JBR: I have them at #7 overall. They would likely need a 4-1 finish to remain a low end 2 seed.

2. How can Wisconsin move up a seed line? Could they become a 2-seed?

JBR: 1 seed is still possible, but they would absolutely have to finish 5-0. Probably need to win the Big Ten regular season title and Big Ten tournament.

3. How would you currently grade Wisconsin's resume? Top-10?

JBR: Wisconsin's resume after the last two games is roughly the 8th best resume in the country.

4. What's your prediction of how they could perform in the tournament?

JBR: I love this offense! Greg Gard is a good coach, but he hasn't had much success in March. I think, at minimum, this is a 2nd weekend NCAA Tournament team.

Big shout out to JBR for answering these questions. While the answers were to the point, there's a lot in there that should get Wisconsin fans excited for the next few weeks of the season and into March Madness.
