No. 14 Wisconsin performing better than expected once again

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! Nobody else in the outside world sees it but us.” The next couple of weeks could show whether Wisconsin is a serious conference title contender, with four of the next six games on the road. “At the end of the day, you have to come play the games and go between the lines, and I think we do a good job of playing our brand of basketball — Badger basketball.” The Badgers’ current roster doesn’t include a single top-125 prospect according to composite rankings of recruiting sites compiled by 247Sports. Wisconsin’s lack of recent NCAA Tournament success also could play a part in getting overlooked: The Badgers reached the championship game as recently as 2015 and were in the Sweet 16 in 2017 but haven’t advanced beyond the round of 32 since. “When you’re not playing and clicking on all cylinders and sputtering at times, good teams dig down and find a way to get it done.” ___ AP college basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/college-basketball and https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-basketball-poll and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25
