For the fifth time in the last six games, it was the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team who hung their heads at the final buzzer — dropping by two in Iowa City to 15-11 University of Iowa.
The final possession of overtime was a rollercoaster for the UW faithful, who watched the seconds tick off the clock as point guard Chucky Hepburn fended off Tony Perkins’ drive to the basket. Hepburn managed to poke away the basketball, and for a brief moment it seemed like the game would be headed to a second overtime. But, Perkins ended up corralling the loose ball and putting down the game-winning layup with a second to spare.
