10. Wisconsin Badgers

Previous Ranking: 12

Record: 10-2

Wisconsin has not been challenged for the most part. They have won six straight over the past few weeks since losing to North Carolina. Their final non-conference test is hosting Florida A&M and then they will open Big Ten play against Rutgers.

The team’s recent win at Marquette saw all five starters score in double figures. Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig lead the way as they have for much of the year. The two seniors are combining for 29 points, eight boards and five assists an evening. Both of them are also shooting 35 percent from deep. The Badgers are one of the strongest teams in the Big Ten and are playing with tons of confidence right now.
