For the first time this season, and only the second time in the last 49 weeks, Michigan unraveled.
There might not have been any students in the building, but Saturday afternoon in the Kohl Center felt like any other day in the Kohl Center. That’s because playing against Wisconsin is still playing against Wisconsin.
The Badgers suck the life out of the game with their defense and style of play. The first 35 minutes of action were back-and-forth by the strict definition. The lead changed nine times and neither team led by more than five points throughout, but momentum swings shifted as slowly as a freighter in ice. Eventually the Badgers broke through and pulled away with a 64-54 victory.
