It is almost time to fill out brackets for the NCAA Tournament. March Madness has not disappointed yet thus far, and I can imagine it is only going to get better.
The joy of March Madness are the upsets, but it is killer when it absolutely destroys your bracket. The best feeling is correctly guessing an upset, but there seems to be a one or two games every single year that busts majority of brackets.
There are also the teams that seem to quietly get hot late and then everyone is surprised when they make a real run in the NCAA tournament. We in the college basketball world like to call those teams bracket busters.
So here we are going to look at those teams, the bracket busters for you to look out for when filling out your bracket. Now these aren't Cinderella teams that will have one or two upsets, these are teams that have gotten hot as of late and look to make a run, but most likely won't win the National Championship.
The first team we have up is the Wisconsin Badgers. Now I know what you might say, a six-seed has a very real chance at winning the National Championship, but with how this team ended their regular season, it seemed like they were sliding.
However, in the ACC Tournament, this team is getting hot. They beat Maryland in the first round 87-56 and set the Big Ten record for most points scored in a single game in the Big Ten Tournament. They also scored 16 threes in the game against Maryland, which is the second most scored in Big Ten Tournament history.
Three-pointers were pointed out as an Achilles heel for the Badgers before the tournament and they showed it is a shot in their arsenal. Wisconsin also took down four-seed Northwestern in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament.
This team is hot right now after struggling at the end of the season and while a National Championship might not be in the cards this season, they are a team that could bust brackets.
