FOX Sports Wisconsins Andrew Grumans story: MILWAUKEE -- Nobody has to remind Wisconsin what happened last year. The sting of last years upset loss at the hands of Mississippi was brought back to life on the eve of the NCAA tournament. As much as Wisconsin doesnt want to talk about the past, the Badgers know the only way for the talk of NCAA disappointments to go away is by writing a different script this time around. Participating in an open practice and media availability Wednesday at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, No. 2 seed Wisconsin is using last years experience as motivation to make sure it doesnt happen again. That means putting 100 percent of its focus on No. 15 seed American. Thats something were not very proud of, Wisconsin forward Sam Dekker said. Ole Miss took it to us. We have to put that behind us because it is a new year and new scenery. We cant put that pressure on ourselves. Fair or not, the Badgers have the stigma of having great success in the regular season only to disappoint in the NCAA tournament. Despite two trips to the Sweet 16 in the last three years, Wisconsin is remembered for the upset losses.
