Wisconsin's triumph qualifies as a Quad 2 victory in the NCAA NET system, as Indiana's No. 64 ranking firmly sits within Quad 2's range of home games against teams ranked No. 31-75. The result brings Wisconsin's record in Quad 2 games to 6-0, bolstering a resume that currently has the team listed as a four-seed in most bracket projections.

The University of Wisconsin men's basketball team is nearing the end of a long stretch of road games, but returns to the Kohl Center for a stopgap in between. The Badgers shot 37.3% from the field and 33.3% from 3 in their loss, as Maryland found ways to make shots and Wisconsin rarely did enough.
