The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (12-6, 4-3 Big Ten) upset No. 2 Michigan (17-1, 6-1) 64–54 at the Kohl Center Saturday, handing the Wolverines their first loss of the season and their first loss since the 2018 NCAA Championship Game against Villanova last April.
The upset win sparks hope in the eyes of Wisconsin fans for a team who had lost four of its previous five games, including an embarrassing loss to Western Kentucky and a dramatic overtime loss to Purdue.
Wisconsin battled hard throughout the game, never allowing Michigan to lead by more than five points, but the Wolverines prevented the Badgers from pulling away until late in the second half.
