The Badgers are now a lock for the NCAA tournament according to one expert

The Wisconsin Badgers steamrolled over the Indiana Hoosiers. It was a wire-to-wire victory for the Badgers as they took the lead quickly and even got up by 20 in just six minutes. In many ways, it was a masterclass on how to put the foot down on the pedal and not let off. The only reason the final score was 76-64 was because of the minutes that went to the deep bench and walk-ons, it was nowhere close to that score for the majority of the game.

This dominant performance has led one of the major bracketologists to take the Badgers from a "near-lock" to a "for sure lock." He even told one Wisconsin reporter that you could write it down in Sharpie.

Wisconsin bulldozed the Indiana Hoosiers to earn a lock to the NCAA tournament

Most experts have projected the Badgers to be a four-seed in the tournament, and some are even considering moving Wisconsin up to the three-seed line. This was a far cry from the beginning of the season when pundits were assuming the Badgers would flail in the Big Ten and finish 12th. They are now sitting at fourth in the conference and looking to gain a little more ground on the teams in front of them.

This lock entered in by JBR is only their third lock given to a Big Ten team and their 14th lock overall.

"Our 14th lock of the season and 3rd team out of the Big Ten, Wisconsin now sits 18-5 (8-4) with Top 15 metrics across the board. Wisconsin has six Quad 1 wins, 11 Quad 1+2 wins and 12 wins vs the KenPom Top 100 all while playing against the #22 SOS and #81 NCSOS. Very confident the Badgers with their collection of quality wins would be in the field should they end up near the bubble. "
