Loss to Michigan drops Wisconsin into three-way tie for Big Ten lead

Wisconsin suffered its second straight loss on Thursday, losing 64-58 at Michigan.

With the loss, the No. 11 Badgers (21-5, 10-3 Big Ten) move to 10-3 in conference play and fall into a three-way tie for first place in the Big Ten, sharing the lead with No. 16 Purdue and No. 23 Maryland with five games left in the season.

Wisconsin played without senior guard Bronson Koenig in Ann Arbor, ending a streak of 84 starts for Koenig, who first entered the starting five when Traevon Jackson suffered an injury during the 2014-15 season.

Koenig had been playing with a calf injury since Wisconsin’s win over Penn State on Jan.
