Badgers win streak over Milwaukee ends

After wins over Syracuse and Temple, the Wisconsin Badgers jumped out to an early lead on Milwaukee, but the Panthers came from behind to pull out a 68-67 win at the Kohl Center, ending a 22-game losing streak against Wisconsin.

The Panthers won for just the second time in 33 meetings against Wisconsin.

Bronson Koenig had a chance to win it for the Badgers, but instead of driving to the basket and possibly drawing a foul, he settled for a step-back three-pointer that landed just short.  Koenig hit just 2 of 10 shots from the field in the second half, finishing 5 of 16 for the game (16 points).

Nigel Hayes scored a career high 32 points for the Badgers, but missed a pair of crucial free throws in the final minute.  Hayes hit 9 of his 18 field-goal attempts but just 12 of his 19 free throw attempts.

Freshman Ethan Happ added ten points and 15 rebounds for the Badgers, who fell to 6-4 on the season.

The Panthers improved to 7-3 with the victory.  They got 22 points from point guard Jordan Johnson.

The Badgers now get ready for another game against an in-state rival on Saturday when they host Marquette.
