It didn’t take long for Wisconsin to pull away. A 10-point halftime lead grew to twenty early in the second half.
Coach Pat Chambers, who sat this one out while serving a one-game suspension, will rejoin the team on Thursday when it travels to Nebraska. With the loss, the Lions stand at 7-8 with an 0-4 conference record. It won’t get any easier from here as Penn State’s schedule is brutal for the next four games; at Nebraska, Michigan State, Iowa, at Minnesota.
How It Happened
The teams were tied 7-7 at the first timeout. Ethan Happ started out slow for Wisconsin, hitting just 2 of his first 8 shots with Mike Watkins draped all over him.
