The Wisconsin Badgers struggled to finish on Saturday, dropping a 77-73 overtime game to the Oregon Ducks that marked arguably their worst loss of the season.

It was an uncharacteristic game for the Badgers, as they blew a 16-point lead in the second half, where turnovers proved to be costly, especially down the stretch where Wisconsin failed to get a field goal over the final 3:16 of regulation.

For a veteran-laden team, Saturday was the situation that Wisconsin usually wanted to be in: having the lead with the clock running down. The Badgers entered the game as one of the best free-throw shooting teams in the country, which usually bodes well for late-game situations.
