Through all its history, Wisconsin has a chance to accomplish something its never done before: advance to its second straight Final Four.

In order to do that, though, they’ll have to get past two teams in a span of three days, one team being a guaranteed opponent and the other to be determined right after their Sweet 16 game. Wisconsin may not be the favorite in Vegas right now, but they’re the team many expected to get to the Final Four before the season.

Three total games, four teams and just one spot in the elusive Final Four picture. The West Region has star power in coaching, players and program history. Even the casual fans can find interest in these games.
