Linked is the Bleacher report article.
the quick two tidbits are
1. MN is a 4 seed. hell yeah. in Milwaukee. road trip.
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
No. 4 Minnesota vs. No. 13 Princeton
No. 5 West Virginia vs. No. 12 Providence/Syracuse
2. WI gets ripped. that is always good.
Stock Down: Wisconsin Badgers (Down 13 Spots)
If it feels like every team in the Big Ten is still in the NCAA tournament picture, it's because Wisconsin has been handing out RPI Top 50 wins like some kind of Oprah Winfrey giveaway.
"Hey Northwestern! You get a quality win! Michigan and Michigan State get quality wins! Hell, even Ohio State and Iowa get to stay alive, courtesy of the Badgers!"
They have lost three in a row since our last projection, as well as five of their last six. Yet, the Badgers somehow entered the day at No. 33 in RPI. (Thursday's home loss to Iowa dropped them to No. 43, though.)
There's no chance the Badgers will miss the NCAA tournament. They have 13 RPI Top 100 wins and not one of their losses came to a team outside the Top 100. But, in the space of three weeks, they have gone from a snub from the selection committee's top 16 to a team that could be headed for a No. 9 or even a No. 10 seed.
