Men’s Basketball: Badgers survive second half surge against Green Bay, beat Phoenix 56-45

With 13:13 to spare in the second half of Wisconsin’s third regular season contest, Head Coach Greg Gard called a 30-second time out.

The stoppage, encouraged by groans from the Kohl Center’s student section, came after the UW Green Bay Phoenix chiseled Wisconsin’s 19-point advantage down to just six in less than seven minutes of play.

With six giveaways through the first 10 minutes following intermission, the Badgers appeared out of sorts.

Anchored by Will Ryan, son of Wisconsin Hall of Fame coach Bo Ryan, Green Bay suffered a 27-point blowout loss to Georgetown three days before its showdown with the Badgers.
