LOS ANGELES (AP) – Bo Ryan is trippin’ about being back in the NCAA West Regional.
First, the Wisconsin coach has the same man escorting him around that he did last year, when the Badgers won the regional in Anaheim. Then Ryan bumped into coach Sean Miller, whose Arizona team lost to the Badgers in a tight game to get to the Final Four.
So Ryan feels right at home in Los Angeles, and he’s hoping Frank Kaminsky & Co. do, too.
The top-seeded Badgers (33-3) take on fourth-seeded North Carolina (26-11) in a regional semifinal on Thursday night at Staples Center. The teams are meeting in the NCAA Tournament for the second time and the first since 2006. The Tar Heels won both games.
North Carolina hasn’t been this far since 2012, although the Tar Heels are 25-6 all-time in regional semifinals.
