DENVER – It’s one thing to make the NCAA tournament, but it’s another to get to the second weekend. BYU has done it once (2011) since the field was expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The Wisconsin Badgers have made it 10 times since then, though not since 2017.

The Wisconsin Badgers will reach the Sweet 16 in March Madness. That was the most popular answer when we asked readers how far the third-seeded Badgers will get in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Of the 135 readers who answered our poll, 66 — nearly half of them — said Wisconsin will win its first two games to get the Sweet 16 before losing.
