Badgers disappointing loss comes as Big Ten sees significant success in Round 1

The Wisconsin Badgers saw their season come to an end in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, as they fell to James Madison 72-61 on Friday night in a disappointing loss.

Wisconsin was trending upwards heading into March Madness, thanks to three consecutive wins in the Big Ten Tournament last week before a close loss in the championship game to the Illinois Fighting Illini.

However, they were slow from the jump on Friday, as the Dukes led for all 40 minutes of the game, sending the players home packing with teary eyes as they walked off the court.
