Wildcats stunned by badgers

BUFFALO, N.Y. - With five minutes to play in the game, Villanova had a seven-point lead over Wisconsin, 57-50, and seemed to be in control of advancing to the Sweet 16 for two consecutive years. But in those last five minutes, all that could go wrong did go wrong.

The Badgers went on a 15-5 run in the remaining minutes of the game and made the necessary plays and defensive stops to defeat the defending National Champions 65-62 on Saturday afternoon.

Two daggers were made behind the arc by Wisconsin guard Bronson Koenig including the go-ahead three to put the Badgers ahead 62-59 with two minutes remaining.
