MADISON, Wis. – Garrett Covington hit two fouls shots with 10.2 seconds left, and Western Illinois shocked No. 17 Wisconsin with a 69-67 win on Friday night.
J.C. Fuller led Western Illinois with 20 points as a team picked to finish last in the Summit League upset a Big Ten power coming off back-to-back Final Four appearances.
The Leathernecks led by as many as eight midway through the second half before Wisconsin mounted a furious rally to tie it at 67 with 2 minutes left on Vitto Brown's layup.
That set up Covington's two late foul shots.
