12. Wisconsin Badgers

Previously Ranked: 11

Record: 7-2

Since our last rankings, Wisconsin took a beating at the hands of North Carolina. This week, they are back on track with victories over Syracuse and Oklahoma. The Badgers’ final test before opening Big Ten play is at Big East wild card Marquette on Saturday, December 10.

The three-headed monster of Bronson Koenig, Ethan Happ and Nigel Hayes anchor Wisconsin. They are all averaging at least 13.1 points a night. Hayes is second in rebounding at 5.7 and leads the team in assists with 3.8. Happ is pulling down 9.8 boards for a near double-double per game. All signs point to a battle with Indiana through the year for B1G dominance.
