Despite pulling within two possessions with about 10 minutes remaining in the game, the No. 4 seed Wisconsin Badgers went ice cold shooting during a key second half stretch. That contributed to an 67-55 loss to the No. 1 seed Michigan State Spartans in one of the two Big Ten Tournament semifinal matchups inside the United Center on Saturday.
Wisconsin (23-10) shot just 32.4 percent from the field in the final 20 minutes of the game, but pulled within six points at 47-41 after senior forward Khalil Iverson converted an and-one opportunity with 10:12 remaining.
