In a highly anticipated road matchup, Big Ten No. 3 University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (22-7, 12-6 Big Ten) fell to No. 1 Michigan State (24-5, 15-3 Big Ten) 72-62 on the road Sunday, March 2, giving the Badgers their second loss in their last three games.
The Badgers started hot, amassing a 13-4 lead five minutes in. After freshman guard Jase Richardson missed a 3-pointer with 14:45 left in the first half, redshirt freshman Jack Janicki grabbed the rebound and threw an outlet pass to graduate student John Tonje, who seemingly finished through contact for a bucket plus the foul.
