Wisconsin is playing their best ball of the season, headlined by stars Mimi Colyer and Charlie Fuerbringer, and is just one game away from the Championship game. They'll need to take care of the Wildcats first, however, so here's everything you need to know to catch the match.

Thursday will mark Wisconsin's fifth trip to the Final Four in the last seven years. And after Nebraska's surprising ouster, the Badgers are the last Big Ten team remaining in this year's tournament. Still, two No. 1 seeds remain, and Wisconsin will face a tough Kentucky team before they can advance. But head coach Kelly Sheffield isn't losing sight of what he teams has accomplished already.
"The Final Four is just so special, it is so incredible," he said. "When you've been there, every fiber of your being, you want as many of your players that are committed that decide to come here, you want them to experience that. I'm so excited that they are going to be able to experience that."
Should the Badgers win, they'll face the winner of Pittsburgh vs. Texas A&M for the National Championship.
