The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team took down the University of Maryland 59-54 in Madison Square Garden for a win in round two of the Big Ten Tournament.
Though the game was close throughout, Wisconsin maintained some lead for most of the contest. Maryland tightened up the score in the waning minutes though, tying the game with four minutes, 18 seconds left on Kevin Huerter’s late game efforts, who scored 14 points on five for eight shooting in the second half.
But Wisconsin did not fold under the late pressure from Maryland. Ethan Happ and Brad Davison both hit late free throws to help Wisconsin maintain their lead.
