The Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 64-52 Wednesday night at the Kohl Center.
The Badgers have always been known as a team with a slow-paced offense and a strong defense, and they looked the part on Wednesday.
The game wasn’t pretty, and neither team could hit a three, but good defense and enough offense were enough.
The team knew it was a must-win game to keep their tournament hopes alive.
And they showed up.
In the second half, their defense shined and they held the highest-scoring team in the Big Ten to just 52 points.
