The Wisconsin Badgers lost a tough 80-72 overtime game to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, collapsing after leading by as many as 19 in the second half to record their second conference loss of the season.
It was a unique game for the Badgers, who were jumpshot-reliant, as they took 31 threes on 64 field goal attempts. While the strategy worked in the first half, Wisconsin’s offense sputtered in the second half, ultimately allowing the Cornhuskers to come back in the game.
As the Badgers were more perimeter-focused, center Steven Crowl, who entered the game as the team’s leading scorer, took just two field goal attempts, which were both three-pointers in a one-point night for the big man.
