The Wisconsin Badgers fell short to the No. 5 Purdue Boilermakers in a 63-61 defeat, marking another close defeat in a highly-contested battle that went down to the final shot.
After a strong performance for the majority of the game, the Badgers just weren’t able to hit a field goal over the final 3:30, although they played well defensively during the stretch, ultimately falling one basket short of a different outcome.
Wisconsin struggled to contain Zach Edey early, as he earned six quick free throws, although the Purdue center hit just one of those attempts.
