The Kohl Center was the loudest it has been in months this past Tuesday as the University of Wisconsin’s basketball team faced up against Wake Forest in the final installment of the ACC-Big Ten Challenge. Sadly for the red and white faithful, cheers did not bounce off the court as the final half expired but rather a sense of deflated bewilderment.
Wisconsin’s loss to Wake Forest was technically their second, having lost to Kansas last week, but the more recent loss felt more authentic. The Badgers lost in quite an uncharacteristic fashion, letting the game go because of shots outside of the offense and a lapse on the defensive end.
