Putting a stop to their three-game losing streak, the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (12-5) defeated Penn State (12-6) with a final score of 63-60 at the Kohl Center Jan. 17.
Prior to the game, the Nittany Lions had yet to scratch the win column in 18 consecutive contests against the Badgers in the Kohl Center.
Fueled by superstar Jalen Pickett and sharpshooter Andrew Funk, the Nittany Lions certainly caught the Badgers at the right time.
But, on the evening of the 25th anniversary of the first game ever played in the Kohl Center, the Nittany Lions would need to wait until February for a chance to conquer Greg Gard’s group.
