Wisconsin has not only been a tournament mainstay for the last two decades, they've been worse than an 8-seed only twice over that time and have been at least a 5-seed 10 times, including six straight from 2010-15 when they won 14 tournament games and reached two Final Fours.
The Badgers' roster was gutted after last year's heartbreaking Sweet Sixteen loss to Florida and now the nation's fourth-longest tourney streak will end.
