Saturday’s 22-point loss felt like a culmination of the issues that have plagued the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team during their now four-game losing streak.
UW turned the ball over 11 times in the first half, shot 32.8 percent from the field and 23.8 percent from three-point land — allowing a Rutgers University team that entered the contest averaging the 28th fewest points per game in the country to score 78. UW was frequently forced out of their offensive sets, only assisting on seven of their 19 makes compared to Rutgers’ 18 assists on 30 field goals.
