MADISON, WI — With six seconds left on the clock and the scoreboard reading “Northwestern 64, Wisconsin 56,” Wildcats fifth-year Senior Sanjay Lumpkin scooped up a bouncing ball on the large red “W” logo at mid-court and saw nothing but daylight in front of him. The red-clad crowd at the Kohl Center let out a preemptive groan that subsided into silence just before Lumpkin loped down the floor and punched through an emphatic slam. The score read 66-56. There were only four seconds left. They had actually done it. It was really over. They had beaten the Big Ten’s standard-bearers in their own backyard.
Northwestern’s win in Madison easily the biggest in program history
