The Wisconsin Badgers suffered a crushing 91-89 loss to the BYU Cougars on Saturday evening, ending a promising season in the Round of 32.
Wisconsin dug themselves in an early hole, as BYU cruised to 47 first-half points, being the more opportunistic team as the Badgers just couldn’t get multiple stops in a row.
That proved to be too much to overcome, even with an aggressive comeback in the final minutes, sending the Badgers home ahead of the Sweet Sixteen for the eighth straight year.
While there is a lot to evaluate for the Badgers as to why Saturday went the way it did, there seemed to be two especially eye-popping moments that changed the direction of the game at crucial times.
