How the regional NCAA mission works; Could UW be in Milwaukee?
How does the POD system of teams work on NCAA tournament locations, and more importantly, has the Wisconsin still a chance to land in Milwaukee?
The men’s male basketball team of Wisconsin reached No. 11 in the classification of the Associated Press this season, but has experienced difficulties, with losses at home against Oregon and Penn State which overthrew the team’s prospects in a greater degree of uncertainty.
Here is what you need to know about UW about to learn its fate of the NCAA tournament:

For a certain time, he looked like a lock that the badgers would have the right to play Milwaukee for the games in the first and second round, but which were then defeats at the end of the season at home against Oregon and especially Penn State, a team that had nothing to play and nevertheless ruined the senior badgers day. The Wisconsin will always be on the sidelines of winning the right to play Fiserv Forum, just as they did in 2022. Again, this team lost in the second round before the crowd at home and did not reproduce the magic of the 2014 race. And, if the badgers did not succeed during the recent games in Madison, is it important that they play Milwaukee?
On March 15, Jerry palm of cbs,, Joe Lunardi d’Espn And USA today All the Wisconsin project as a seeded n ° 3 and playing Milwaukee.
If the Wisconsin sets in as 3 or 4 seeds, it will almost certainly obtain an automatic qualifier in mid-majeur. The sites interviewed above have the team against Lipscomb, Wofford and Troy.
Lipscomb would be interesting because the best player in the team, the Atlantic Sun player from the year Jacob Ognacevic, is from Sheboygan, and he is not the only connection of the Wisconsin to the team. Wofford also has a Wisconsinite on the list of Jeremy Lorenz de Brillion, and the programs have already met in the NCAA tournament in 2010.
The other schools to keep an eye on this range include High Point, Utah Valley and Yale, although these last two must win their conference tournament to participate.
Obviously, all eyes are on Milwaukee. Among the teams classified in front of the Wisconsin in list 1-68 of the programs admitted to the NCAA tournament, Uw hopes that no more than a program will be geographically attributed to Milwaukee, there is still one more vacancy when we arrive at Wisconsin on the list.
The next closest sites are Cleveland and Lexington, Kentucky, although the latter will be almost complete because of his placement as a geographically friendly place for some of the best teams in the field. Cleveland, which should receive Michigan State and perhaps Kentucky itself, is also likely to be out of the table.
If the Wisconsin has no room in Milwaukee, the spots that seem the most likely for Uw are Providence, Denver or Seattle.
The male support will be revealed slowly from 5 p.m. Sunday on CBS and the female support will be unveiled at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
