The Wisconsin Badgers lost handily Wednesday night in a 55–73 thrashing by the Maryland Terrapins in College Park. A combination of poor shooting due to questionable shot selection and a breakdown on defense propelled Greg Gard’s team to break down in the second half.
Since the start of the new year, a Wisconsin team that enjoyed several weeks in the Associated Press Top 25 has begun to live up to pre-season expectations, losing four of their last five games. This Wednesday’s game marked a poetic exclamation point to the Badger struggles, losing to a Maryland team whose once perfect season the Badgers spoiled in Madison Dec.
