Minnesota lost to Wisconsin in overtime today at Williams Arena. With the loss, the Gophers are now on a three game losing streak in Big Ten play. Despite excellent games from Amir Coffey and Akeem Springs, the Gophers were unable to overcome the Badgers front court of Ethan Happ and Nigel Hayes.
For the game, the Gophers shot an effective field goal percentage of 54%. Unfortunately, they had only three points in the last 5:24 of the second half. That’s the ball game.
Much of that was due to Wisconsin being able to play 4 on 5 because Reggie Lynch fouled out for the fifth time in seven Big Ten games.
