The Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Michigan Wolverines in an intense Big 10 matchup, winning 64-59, despite missing their last 15 shots and not recording a field goal for the final 10:45 of regulation.
The environment at the Kohl Center certainly had a more energetic atmosphere, clearly fueled by Michigan center Hunter Dickinson’s comments calling Wisconsin “scumbags” on a podcast earlier in the year.
Wisconsin and Michigan went back and forth offensively to begin, with each team shooting over 50% over the first five minutes, leading to a 13-12 game in favor of the Wolverines.
