March Madness 2017: Ranking and previewing all Sweet 16 teams
By Keith Rivas
Wisconsin Badgers
Nobody is scarier right now than the Badgers, but with respect to Kentucky, North Carolina, and Kansas all being higher seeds, they rank fourth on this list.
The Badgers accomplished the unthinkable, sending the defending champs in Villanova packing after a loss in the Round of 32. They have an easier game, respectively, in the Sweet 16, as they’ll play fourth-seeded Florida.
Wisconsin is going to be running on a lot of emotional high on top of adrenaline. Taking down the top seed in the entire tournament comes with a bit of a panic attack — but they’ll look past it.

Should they beat Florida, Wisconsin will get to play either Baylor or South Carolina for a Final Four berth. Neither of those teams should really worry them, though.
As with other teams mentioned earlier, the Badgers’ biggest weakness is their numerous turnovers. Somehow, a 14-8 turnover margin didn’t yield a loss for them against the best team in the bracket.
No matter what, that same statistic won’t get them a win over Florida or anyone else, for that matter.
