Wow .. weren't we unseeded just 15 days ago?

[Mayor McCheese]

you know it... I was a fan of unseeded one week to a lock the next week,

I think if we are a top 4 seed we would be "protected", reagarding where we are sent for the first two rounds.  Any chance we get sent to Chicago?

I think there's a decent chance of that.  For those that follow these things closely, many of the projections have the Badgers as the #1 in Chicago and Marquette in Chicago as well.  I looked into tickets for that reason and they are through the roof.

I just glad they dropped the stupid calling the regionals by the city thing.  They are back to the east, west, midwest, and south.

I would absolutely go to the games is they are in Chicago or New Orleans.....but with Wisco and us seeded in the Chicago bracket those tickets are going to become INSANE!


What a difference two weeks makes.  Now we are talking about seeding and bracket draws and its not even February....god I love this team right now.

Tickets are NOT sold out yet at the United Center for the first two rounds.  Maybe all of the seats in the lower bowl are, but not the entire stadium.

Badgers  rank 40th. And we still have games left against (RPI ratings in parens):  Pitt (4), Villanova (21), Georgetown (36), Notre Dame (40), Providence (55), DePaul (63) and Louisville (79), as well as South Florida (168) and Rutgers (175). Badgers have tough games at OSU (11), two with Michigan State (27) and one with Indiana (16) and Michigan (38). But they also have two with mediocre Iowa (114) and cupcake Penn State (158), as well as one each with always-on-probation Minnesota (187) and Northwestern (126). Bottom line: We will finish with a better SOS than the Badgers. I'm not saying we're a better team, but perhaps people should lighten up on the scheduling comments. The home schedule wasn't great, but overall our SOS will finish in the Top 25.

Great point.   Where are all the schedule bashers?

Wisco and MU were both in MPLS together too.....tickets were pretty easy to come by after Bo didn't double down on Estill.
