What a stunning comeback and heartbreaking defeat. Start with the positives—who shined at Madison Square Garden?
Owen Riese: Nigel Hayes was incredible down the stretch, save for a couple free throws. He sacked up when he needed for those final two, despite the struggles. Zak Showalter also had a very impressive game. His energy and defense was impressive as usual, and the shot he hit to force overtime won’t be forgotten anytime soon.
Jon Beidelschies: For the first 19 minutes of the game, Vitto Brown was the best player on the floor for Wisconsin.
