Men’s basketball: Late game threes give Badgers victory in Big Ten opener over No. 14 Hawkeyes

The No. 22 University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team put their money where their mouth is after being tested in a big-time battle in the Big Ten. The resilient Badgers overcame a late deficit to defeat the No. 14 Iowa Hawkeyes 72–66 down in Iowa City.

Trailing by as many as eight points in the second half, the Badgers found themselves in need of a comeback for the second game in a row. And for the second game in a row, the Badgers answered the call behind a string of clutch baskets down the stretch of the game.
