Northwestern Wildcats force five turnovers to beat the Badgers

The conclusion of Saturday's game between Wisconsin and Northwestern was one that both teams will talk about for a long time. It was the kind of thing you needed to see to believe and even then there were incomprehensible elements. It was controversial. It was nerve-wracking. Maybe the referees botched it.

Say what you want, but one thing was clear among many on the Wisconsin side — with five turnovers the Badgers would have been lucky even to have a remote chance in the final moments let alone multiple legitimate shots at the win.

"I thought our defense played tremendous and individual efforts, group efforts, gave us a chance to be in that game and to win," head coach Paul Chryst said after the 13-7 loss.
