A pivotal Big Ten game took place Sunday between No. 8 Michigan State and No. 12 Wisconsin. Here's a recap of the updates, score and highlights.
The Badgers shot 36.2% from the field, but the defensive struggles were even more jarring in Saturday's loss to Penn State.
John Blackwell had 17 points and Nolan Winter (12 points, 17 rebounds) recorded a double-double in the 71-62 loss Sunday in East Lansing, Michigan.
But the 3-point shooting and missing persisted for Wisconsin. After Blackwell opened the second half with a layup off a backcut, the Badgers missed their next six attempts from the field as the Spartans went on an 8-0 run to take a 40-36 lead with 16:55 to go in the game.
Jase Richardson assisted on three straight buckets in the final minutes to push MSU basketball past Wisconsin and one step closer to Big Ten title.
