MADISON, Wis. — No. 2 Michigan's locker room, deep inside the Kohl Center, was quieter than usual.
For the past two months, the Wolverines have sung 'The Victors' after their game, a tradition for every win.
They couldn't do that on Saturday afternoon.
Michigan (17-1 overall, 6-1 Big Ten) took its first loss of the season, falling, 64-54, to Wisconsin.
Michigan coach John Beilein remembers the last time his team lost in the regular season.
