If the last two games serve as the totality of the sample size, it’d be safe to declare the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team as a second-half squad.
No. 15 Wisconsin (17-3, 6-1 Big Ten) followed a road overtime win over Minnesota with a 82-55 victory over Penn State (11-10, 3-5) at the Kohl Center Tuesday night.
UW saw an early 10-point lead established during the first six minutes and 30 seconds of the game nearly evaporate by halftime, when it led 36-33. In the second half, Penn State’s shooting cooled off and UW’s heated up, when Wisconsin shot 55 percent compared to PSU’s 27 percent.
