Badgers beat Duke in a thriller

December 3, 2009 By Bill Scott

Trevon HughesHow big was Wisconsin’s Wednesday night win over 5th ranked Duke?  Big enough for the fans to rush the floor as the clock struck zero. 

What a thrilling win for Bo Ryan’s Badgers (5-1), they led all the way and beat the 5th ranked Blue Devils 73-69 at the Kohl Center before a sold out crowd.  You could point to the win being the difference maker in the Big Ten winning its first Big Ten/ACC Challenge (6-5).

Trevon Hughes (pictured) played his biggest game as a Badger, scoring 19 of his team-high 26 points in the second half.  He hit two key free throws with 4.9 seconds left to give the Badgers a 72-69 lead.  Fellow point guard Jordan Taylor iced the win by hitting one of two free throws a moment later.

The Badgers played well and took care of the basketball.  They dished out 17 assists and committed only 5 turnovers as a team. 

Junior guard Jon Leuer added 17 points and senior guard Jason Bohannon 10 points for the Badgers. 

Junior forward Kyle Singler scored 17 of Duke’s 32 first-half points and finished with 28 for the game. 

The win for Bo Ryan is the 198th in Madison and the 581st overall win.
