Huskers Stun No. 10 Wisconsin

Alonzo Verge Jr. had nine of his game-high 26 points in an 11-0 run, as Nebraska stunned No. 10 Wisconsin with a 74-73 win on Sunday afternoon in Madison, Wis.

The Huskers, who closed out Big Ten play with three straight wins, trailed 71-62 after Brad Davison's three-pointer with 5:48 remaining, but held the Big Ten champion Badgers without a field goal the remainder of the game and to just 40 percent on the day.

Trailing 71-65, Verge Jr. took over in the last 3:05 before fouling out with 19.8 seconds left. The senior scored seven straight points, as his three-pointer with 1:48 left gave the Huskers the lead for good.
