For those who believe in omens, what happened Sunday could be a sign that the University of Wisconsin’s fortunes are about to change for the better.
The Badgers, who played three of their final four regular-season games on the road and faced Indiana at the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis, received a bid to play Arizona in the first round of the NCAA tournament 11:30 a.m. Friday at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia. Wisconsin is seeded ninth, and Arizona eighth.
