The Wisconsin Badgers are on
the verge of getting off the bubble and into the NCAA Tournament after a 67-59
win at 8^th ranked Iowa
last night.  Bronson Koenig led the way
with 15 points.  Nigel Hayes added
10.  This is the 1^st time the
Badgers have knocked off two top 10 teams on the road in the same year since
1955.  The Badgers will host Michigan on Sunday

#1 Villanova went down last
