The No. 3-seed Wisconsin Badgers will continue their 2025 NCAA Tournament on Saturday with a second-round matchup against the No. 6-seed BYU Cougars.
Wisconsin, first, advanced with a decisive 85-66 win over No. 14-seed Montana in the opening round. The Badgers shot more than 70% from inside the three-point line in the winning effort, led by efficient offensive performances from John Blackwell (19 points on 7-of-10 from two), Steven Crowl (18 points on 6-of-7 from two), John Tonje (15 points on 1-of-1 from two, 9-of-9 from the free-throw line) and Xavier Amos (11 points on 4-of-5 from two).
BYU, meanwhile, punched the ticket opposite Wisconsin with an 80-71 win over No. 11-seed VCU on Thursday afternoon. The Cougars looked as dangerous as advertised in the triumph, with stars Richie Saunders (16 points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals) and Egor Demin (15 points, four rebounds, two assists) leading the way. Eight BYU players scored at least six points, including 26 total bench points from the trio of Fousseyni Traore (13 points, nine rebounds), Dawson Baker (seven points, two rebounds) and Dallin Hall (six points, four assists).
As announced on Thursday night, Wisconsin and BYU will tip off at 7:30 p.m. ET, 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday evening. CBS will carry the game as one of the marquee matchups of the day's action

The Badgers and Cougars create one of the NCAA Tournament's most exciting matchups to date. The teams boast KenPom's No. 13 and No. 10-ranked offenses, respectively. Wisconsin is the metric's No. 13 overall team in the sport, while BYU is right there at No. 24, with 11 wins in its last 12 games. Most projections see the matchup as a fast-paced, high-scoring showdown between two explosive teams, each with a real chance for a deep tournament run.
Wisconsin will take the court in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday night looking to make its first trip to the Sweet 16 since 2017.
