March Madness simulation from ESPN says Badgers would have won it all

If "March Madness" was happening, a huge slew of games would be starting right about now. Alas, with the COVID-19 outbreak and subsequent quarantines, the whole tournament was cancelled and nobody knows what might have been.

Enter ESPN, which decided to do a "what if", based on all these complex predictive calculations using a final bracket and BPI (Basketball Power Index) calculations taking into account projected matchups and locations of games.

For fans around here, it notably begins with opening round victories for Marquette (as a #9 seed beating #8 Houston) and Wisconsin (as a #4 seed beating #13 North Texas.) Where it goes from there gets even more interesting. And - spoiler alert - it culminates with a prediction that the Wisconsin Badgers would have won it all.

How do they get there? Find out more from ESPN's story on it! And wonder what might've been, Badger fans...
