After a hot shooting first half of 75% from the floor, Wisconsin made just 26% of their shots from the field in the second half. The Badgers led by 14 at the half but saw that lead go all the way to a single point late in the final minutes.
Wisconsin (10-5, 20-7) has won 20-games now in 7 of Bo Ryan’s 9 seasons with the Badgers. Up next is a trip to Indiana Thursday to take on Tom Crean and the Hoosiers (3-11, 9-17).
