Wisconsin was perhaps the most brutally-seeded team, as they will have to face off against the red-hot 12 seeded Oregon Ducks.

Wisconsin is going to be one of the most popular upset picks, and for good reason. The Badgers have been very inconsistent at times this year, and lack a good track record in recent memory in March in order to be considering a safe bet to move on.

However, not so fast with the Wisconsin slander. They also happen to have one of the best players in the country, in their superstar senior big man Ethan Happ.

Happ is one of the best scorers and rebounders in the country, and is an absolute mastermind in the painted area. If Wisconsin can get Happ as many touches as possible, they’ll be a good bet to move on far into the NCAA Tournament.

Happ has the experience learning behind former star teammates such as Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker, and will now lead the Badgers in the storm, as a five seed with the odds running against them.

As long as Happ can do his thing in the paint, Wisconsin will be just fine. Happ will need to produce as the superstar that he is, and if he can, the senior star will be one of the biggest keys to the Badgers run this March.
