Wisconsin's team will be developing a Tennessee-sized target at this pace.

Wisconsin, the only team to reach the NCAA title game in four straight seasons, also won NCAA titles in 2006 and 2007. The Badgers finished the 2008-09 campaign with a 33-2-5 overall record. They ended on a nine-game winning streak and a 12-game unbeaten streak.

Their opponent was Mercyhurst, who advanced to the final by eliminating Minnesota.

SIEVE!
