The Big Ten's perfect start is no more.
No. 6 seed BYU held on for a dramatic 91-89 over No. 3 Wisconsin Saturday, handing the Big Ten its first loss of the NCAA tournament. The Big Ten is now 10-1 in tournament play.
BYU set the tone early that an 11-0 Big Ten start was not meant to be. The Cougars jumped out to a 23-14 lead at the midway point of the fist half then extended it to 47-36 at the break. Wisconsin struggled to slow a BYU offensive that was hot inside and out.
Wisconsin made a stand at the start of the second half, cutting its deficit to 52-48.
