The Wisconsin Badgers suffered a tough 91-89 loss to the BYU Cougars on Saturday, ending their season early during the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.
It was a tough game where the Badgers showed a ton of heart in fighting back, but ultimately couldn’t complete the comeback in a heartbreaking ending against the Cougars.
Looking at the game, there were a lot of issues for the Badgers. They couldn’t string along enough consecutive stops, they didn’t out-shoot BYU, and they fell into too big a hole too early. But, perhaps the biggest blow was the difference in free-throw shooting.
