O.K. sure,
The Badgers have got to get through Kansas and UConn on their way to the Final Four .... but they played 3-1/2 qtrs of great ball against Illinois (at least that's how it looked on GameChannel) ... agreed the Badger's are a fringe choice for a darkhorse to the FF ... But what's left in the upper midwest, the Brewer's? the Twins? da Bears? There's a lot of corn and cheese pulling for the Badgers both football and hoop, which brings up the point ... I used to be a serious shut-down corner in my day, but as offensive coordinators started really recruiting for speed after the first grade, I figured I should stand down while still on top of my game.
Really, WISC is just a Wavoids type play.
The above content is my opinion.
