Men’s Basketball: Wisconsin drops third straight, lose 72–68 to Michigan in Ann Arbor

For the first time all season, the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team has endured a three-game losing streak. After entering the month of February in sole possession of first place in the Big Ten, they now sit in third behind the University of Illinois and Purdue University, with two games separating UW and the Boilermakers.

While most Badger fans could stomach the losses to No. 2 ranked Purdue and a University of Nebraska team that has only lost once at home, Wednesday’s loss to a University of Michigan team — who entered the contest 1-10 in their last 11 — was much tougher to swallow.
