It’s a tale as old as March — the sharpshooting squad that lives from deep meets the disciplined, defensive-minded program that doesn’t flinch under pressure. This year, that battle is #6 BYU vs. #3 Wisconsin — and in my bracket, the edge goes to the Badgers.
Don’t get me wrong, BYU can absolutely stroke it. When they’re on, they rain threes like confetti. But that kind of high-variance style comes with risk — and against a team like Wisconsin, that risk turns into reality.
Wisconsin doesn’t panic. They don’t chase. They grind you down.They control the tempo. They execute in the half court. And they force teams to beat them with patience and precision — not just heat checks.
That’s a nightmare matchup for a BYU team that needs rhythm and pace to survive.
Bracket Pick: #3 Wisconsin advances. BYU might land a few haymakers early, but Wisconsin wears you out. They’re a classic March team — slow, methodical, and cold-blooded in crunch time. And in this tournament, that wins more often than highlight reels do.
