Behind clutch play down the stretch, Wisconsin knocked off Kansas State Saturday night 70-65 advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Jon Leuer led the Badgers with 17-points.
The final two minutes belonged too Mike Bruesewitz and Jordan Taylor. With about 90 seconds left in the game, Bruesewitz burried an open 3-pointer to give Wisconsin the lead for good. Taylor knew the shot was going in:

Ironicly it was Kansas State who Wisconsin beat to get to the Sweet 16 the last time they made it that far in 2008.
