Bronson Koenig drained a deep 3-pointer to tie the game and hit another at the buzzer to advance the Wisconsin basketball team past Xavier 66-63 on Sunday night in another example of how much this team has improved late in close games.
This year’s Wisconsin Badgers have always had the talent to compete with any team in the country, but the team’s youth and bad luck led to several close losses early in the season.
On Jan. 12, the Badgers lost their third game in a row 70-65 on the road against Northwestern to drop the Badgers’ record to 9-9 overall and 1-4 in Big Ten play.
