The Arizona Wildcats and Wisconsin Badgers are playing in the NCAA tournament for a chance to make it out of the west regional and this bracket played out to perfection with the top seed and the number two playing and it starts up past 8:50 pm ET from TBS on TV and streaming online from the March Madness website at the Honda Center in Anaheim.
The Wildcats come into the game after a nice win against the San Diego State Aztecs and they have been one of the best teams in the tournament so far and they have now won five of the last six games losing only to UCLA in the Pac-12 tournament championship game. The team now plays against a strong Badgers team and they will need stars Nick Johnson and Aaron Gordon to step up to get the win against Wisconsin and they have been great all season, with both getting nominated for player of the year awards in the conference.
The Wildcats won the Pac-12 regular season title and now Sean Miller is looking to get his team to the Final Four for the first time since taking over and he faces off against a familiar coach to him in Bo Ryan and Wisconsin is looking to get back to the Final Four for the first time since 2000. Arizona knows the west regional all too well and and they haven't been able to win out of there in over a decade since back in 1998 and now they will try and do so after being the number one team for eight weeks during the year and they also had a winning streak of over 20 games and that should make them hard to beat on Saturday night as they try to make it into the final four.
The team is scoring over 70 points per game and they are ranked 18th in rebounds per game and are shooting nearly 47 percent from the field and they have the fifth ranked defense in the nation and that will make this a great matchup up front for the Badgers and Wildcats. The team is allowing less than 60 points per game and Wisconsin is scoring over 70 and they come in after winning their last three games and they will be looking to get to the final four for the first time in 13 years and players like guard Josh Gasser will have plenty to handle, including Aaron Gordon and freshman Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, who scored 15 points in the win against San Diego.
Johnson is leading the team in scoring with 16 points per game, while Aaron Gordon is second with 12 and he is tops on the team with eight rebounds per game and those two players will be huge for the team has they try to get to the next round after making it to the Elite 8.
