Over the previous 32 games, the Michigan basketball has been so good, it’s hard to remember seeing the Wolverines struggle the way they did Saturday against Wisconsin.
The Badgers, who scored a 64-54 upset win over Michigan basketball, ended any hopes the Wolverines had at being the nation’s No.1 team. UM led in the second half 43-40 and had multiple chances to make it a two-possession game.
However, missed shots, turnovers and missed opportunities would cost the Wolverines. After failing to extend the lead, Ethan Happ and the Badgers took over. The Wisconsin big man finished with 24 points and an 11-2 run by Wisconsin gave it a 51-45 lead.
