The Badgers are making their eighth consecutive and 12th overall appearance in the NCAA tournament. Wisconsin is 19-11 in the tournament with its best finish coming in 2000, when it was the national runnerup. In 2002, the Badgers defeated Alabama A&M, 3-0, in the first round before losing to Miami (Fla.), 1-3, in the second round at home.
Wisconsin is also competing on the road in first-round action for the first time since 1999, Coach Pete Waite's first year. That season, the Badgers travelled to Provo, Utah, where they downed Arizona State, 3-0, in the first round before losing to BYU, 1-3, in the second round.
