Welcome to March. In what felt like a season-defining game, Purdue leaves Madison heartbroken on the wrong end of yet another game-winning shot and suffers a 70-67 defeat to the Wisconsin Badgers.
After the shots by Ron Harper Jr. in December, Rob Phinisee in January, and Tyson Walker just a few days ago, this team had endured enough gut-wrenching losses on the year. Now, this one might be the toughest of them all. What is even more painful for this team is that they have had clutch moments themselves in these games, but their opponents just had one more possession when it matters most.
