Bracket Projection: Wisconsin

After a 21-3 start, the Wisconsin Badgers looked to be a Final Four contender and the class of the Big Ten. Since Feb. 12, however, the wheels fell off slightly for coach Greg Gard's team, which lost five of its final seven regular-season games before rebounding with a run to the Big Ten tournament final. The Badgers' early success was driven by the veteran production of seniors Bronson Koenig and Nigel Hayes, combined with the unique old-school game of sophomore center Ethan Happ. Can Wisconsin find a way to be more consistent and make a run in March?
