Did they lose Bo Ryan??? If not then don't expect Wisconsin not finishing in the Top 4. They have Hayes and Koenig and that right there is a lot more talent than they've had in some years. Also there's always some guy on the bench that didn't play much that gets inserted in and turns out to be a stud.
Bottom line: if you pick Wisconsin for worse than 4th or not making the tourney then you've been in a coma the last 14-years or still live in the 80's and think parachute pants and jean jackets are cool.
I don't expect Wisconsin to finish in the top four, but it remains to be seen if Ryan will return or not. There hasn't been any talk about his retiring, but he is at that age. He really has done a good job at Wisconsin. One thing I noticed this year is that Ryan looks like he could be thinking about retiring. He doesn't look like he has the same vim and vigor that he had a couple of years ago.
