Fresh off another productive week, the Wisconsin men moved up in the latest college basketball rankings. The Badgers are now 17th in both the AP and Coaches Pol

Wisconsin basketball rose to a No. 5 seed in USA TODAY’s NCAA Tournament bracket projection following its win over Nebraska. The Badgers were on the No. 6-seed line in USA TODAY’s last bracket reveal on Jan. 24. The team’s 83-58 triumph over the Cornhuskers proved significant, as it joined Arizona, Missouri and Louisville on the No. 5-seed line.

The Badgers are now 16-4 overall and 6-3 in conference play. The Badgers dropped a tough game at UCLA to start off the week but came back home and had a dominant showing against Nebraska, defeating the visiting Huskers 83-55 behind 27 points from John Tonje and 17-made three pointers from the team, their second-highest total this season.
