UM solves Madison malady, holds off Wisconsin

Madison, Wis. — There are places that have been unkind to Michigan.

And then there’s the Kohl Center, where leaving with a loss has been the norm for quite some time.

The Wolverines bucked the trend and hung on to beat Wisconsin, 83-72, Sunday to leave Madison with just their second win since 2000.

Moritz Wagner recorded his sixth double-double of the season with 20 points and 11 rebounds to lead No. 20 Michigan (20-7, 9-5 Big Ten), which shot a blistering 65.4 percent (17-for-26) in a dominant first half and 56 percent (28-for-50) for the game.
