The Wisconsin Badgers lost 56-54 to the North Texas Mean Green in the NIT Final Four, going scoreless over the last 9:07 to end their season on a sour note.
After a scorching-hot first half where the Badgers scored 41 points to take a 12-point lead to head into halftime, Wisconsin collapsed in the second half, shooting just 24% from the field and making one of their last 16 field goal attempts to ultimately lose in a close contest.
After a season where the Badgers consistently battled their late-game woes, Wisconsin compiled a performance reminiscent of their disappointing season in the second half in a game that officially ended their season.
