Men’s Basketball: Badgers hold on in double overtime against Indiana

There is no easy game this season in the loaded Big Ten Conference.

Though the No. 8 University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (11-2, 4-1 Big Ten) entered Thursday’s home game against Indiana (7-5, 2-3) as eight-point favorites, the Badgers needed double overtime to take down the feisty Hoosiers, surviving an 80–73 scare at the Kohl Center.

Archie Miller’s team proved they would be no pushovers from the opening tip. After a 9–4 lead for the Badgers to start the game, Indiana sophomore standout Trayce Jackson-Davis scored back-to-back baskets and Jerome Hunter added a triple to give Indiana an 11–9 advantage.
