Madison, Wis. — Poor 3-point shooting. Season-high tying 15 turnovers. Five combined points from redshirt junior wing Charles Matthews and freshman forward Ignas Brazdeikis.
Add in a raucous crowd and a venue where Michigan has notoriously struggled, it’s not a recipe for success.
It all proved to be too much for No. 2 Michigan to overcome as Wisconsin handed it its first loss of the season, 64-54, on Saturday at the Kohl Center.
Junior center Jon Teske scored 15 points, sophomore guard Jordan Poole 14 and junior guard Zavier Simpson had 11 points and 10 rebounds for Michigan (17-1, 6-1 Big Ten), which suffered its first regular-season defeat since Feb.
