On a five-game winning streak, the Wisconsin Badgers suffered an ugly collapse in the second half, dropping a 77-73 loss in overtime at the Kohl Center on Saturday, putting a major blow to their Big Ten Championship hopes.
It was a slower start for the Badgers in a back-and-forth affair with the Ducks, but a surge midway through the first half created a double-digit lead. Oregon made a major comeback in the second half, cutting a 17-point lead to force overtime with a rapid push in the final minutes, leading to the nail-biting finish.
Then, in overtime, the Ducks relied on center Nate Bittle and the Badgers had no answer, struggling to put together success on the offensive end.
