Michigan basketball's second-half comeback falls short in 64-59 loss at Wisconsin

MADISON, Wisconsin — For the second time in as many trips to Madison, Juwan Howard got in somebody's face on the court.

Only this time, it was referee Kipp Kissinger.

First, Howard thought Wisconsin's Connor Essegian got away with a travel. Then, his son, Jett Howard, drove to the basket but missed a layup. The head coach then ran onto the court to make his feelings known.

He was assessed a technical foul, Essegian hit both free-throw attempts to cap a 15-4 run aided by five Michigan turnovers and the Badgers took a 12-point lead.

The Wolverines didn't wilt.
