Wisconsin Basketball: Back on Track Despite Second Half Scare

Wisconsin basketball had not lost five games in a row since the 2017-18 season. Staring down the barrel of history, the Wisconsin Badgers closed the first half strong. UW led at halftime 34-21 and by as many as 17, but it was not easygoing in the second half. A hot scoring run by the Ohio State Buckeyes made it close in a Tuesday night Big Ten fight. The Badgers, however, would hold on.
