Led by a 21-point night from Nigel Hayes, the Wisconsin basketball team held off Ohio State at the Kohl Center Thursday night, emerging with a 79-68 victory
Riding a 4-game winning streak into a home matchup, their longest winning streak of the season, the Badgers extended the streak despite a hot shooting night from Ohio State’s JaQuan Lyle, who scored 27 points after scoring 11 total points in the Buckeyes last four games.
Wisconsin jumped out to a 11-0 lead early in the first half, but Ohio State answered and kept it close throughout.
