I'm not sure a Wisconsin win on Saturday necessarily moves us into 6th place.

Purdue beat Wisconsin (89-73) earlier in the
season, so a Wisconsin win on Saturday would mean a split, and the tie-breaker rules would come into play. Purdue could still end up ahead of Wisconsin. UCLA, having lost to Wisconsin, would then remain behind them in 7th place.

If, on the other hand, Wisconsin wins the tie-breaker, UCLA, having beaten Purdue, would then move up to 6th.

Anything could happen in the 1st and 2nd rounds, so it's impossible to say whom the Bruins would play first.
