MADISON — The University of Wisconsin men's basketball team earned a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament. The Badgers will play No. 14 seed Colgate at 8:50 p.m. on Friday at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee.
The Badgers will have the opportunity to play the winner of No. 6 LSU and No. 11 Iowa State in the second round followed by a chance to play in Chicago for the Sweet 16 and Elite Eight.
The Badgers have played Colgate once. UW beat the Raiders 68-41 in November 2011.
UW won a share of the Big Ten regular-season title by defeating Purdue on March 1 but lost to Nebraska in its regular-season finale March 6.
The Badgers' trip to Indianapolis for the Big Ten tournament was short-lived. No. 7 seed Michigan State defeated second-seeded UW 69-63 in Friday's quarterfinals.
