Connor Essegian: A star is forming in Madison

The Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 64-52 Wednesday night at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers have always been known as a team with a slow-paced offense and a strong defense, and they looked the part on Wednesday.

The game wasn’t pretty, and neither team could hit a three, but good defense and enough offense were enough.

The team knew it was a must-win game to keep their tournament hopes alive.

And they showed up.

In the second half, their defense shined and they held the highest-scoring team in the Big Ten to just 52 points.
