Wisconsin Shocks Purdue With Last-Second Bankshot Three to Secure Share of Big Ten Title

We’re only on Day 1 of March, and the Madness has arrived.

A bevy of upsets arose Tuesday, including No. 10 Wisconsin (24–5, 15–4 in Big Ten) landing 70–67 victory against No. 8 Purdue (24–6, 13–6) on Tuesday at the Kohl Center.

Badgers guard Johnny Davis converted on a jumper to put Wisconsin up 67–64 with 28 seconds remaining in the game. Then, a three pointer from Purdue’s Jaden Ivey tied the game at 67.

But with eight seconds to play, Chucky Hepburn dribbled the ball down the left sideline before taking a step back and banking in a game-winning three-pointer to give the Badgers the win and a share of the Big Ten regular season championship.
