In a crushing loss, the No. 12 Wisconsin Badgers fell short in an 86-75 loss to the Penn State Nittany Lions, blowing an early lead as their offense went ice cold in the second half.
Coming into Saturday, the path for Wisconsin was simple: win and clinch a top-four seed in the Big Ten Tournament, increasing the likelihood of playing the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament in Milwaukee.
Well, that all unraveled in an ugly way on Senior Night, as the Badgers now don’t control their fate in either area, suffering another second half-collapse on Saturday.
