With season on the line, the Badgers went into Ann Arbor and took down No. 2 Michigan. While the season was only figuratively over with a loss, instead the Badgers are now 11-5 and back on track for an NCAA Tournament bid. So how did they pull off the massive upset? Here are three quick takeaways.
1. First five minutes of the second half
Wisconsin entered halftime down 38-37 to the Wolverines, but by the 15:00 minute mark of the second half, had scored 25 points in less than five minutes to reach a 62-56 lead. The flurry of points was thanks to a barrage of three-pointers, and a sweet seven-straight points by Nick Boyd in less than a minute of game time.
