Wisconsin basketball (19-9, 11-6 Big Ten) suffered its sixth conference loss of the 2025-26 campaign on Wednesday night against the Oregon Ducks, who entered the bout with a 10-17 mark.<\/p>\n
After securing a Quad 1 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes (NCAA NET No. 26)<\/a> on Feb. 22, the Badgers added a Quad 2 loss to the Ducks, who sit at No. 15 in an 18-team Big Ten conference. Entering the game on Wednesday in Eugene, Oregon, UW sat one game out of position for a double-bye in the Big Ten Tournament.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The defeat essentially eliminated Greg Gard’s group from contention. Considering Michigan<\/a>, Nebraska, Illinois, Michigan State<\/a>, and Purdue’s conference records, Wisconsin would require an unlikely set of circumstances to climb back into the top-tier cohort.<\/p>\n Wisconsin does, however, boast wins over the then-No. 2-ranked Wolverines<\/a>, No. 8 Fighting Illini and No. 10\u00a0Spartans<\/a>. Those carry weight in UW’s Quad 1 resume, which serves as an important ingredient for NCAA Tournament seeding over the next few weeks.<\/p>\n Wisconsin basketball’s updated NCAA NET ranking after Oregon loss<\/p>\n Ranking:\u00a0No. 34 overall (down two)<\/p>\n Resume:\u00a019-9 overall, 5-7 vs. Quad 1, 6-2 vs. Quad 2, 2-0 vs. Quad 3, 6-0 vs. Quad 4<\/p>\n Contact\/Follow\u00a0@TheBadgersWire<\/a>\u00a0on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>\u00a0to follow ongoing coverage of Wisconsin Badgers<\/a> news, notes and opinion<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n This article originally appeared on Badgers Wire: Wisconsin basketball NCAA NET Rankings update Oregon loss<\/a><\/p>\n
