Men’s Basketball: Wisconsin pulls away late in win over Nebraska

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (12-7, 5-3 Big Ten) beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers (7-12, 2-6) at the Kohl Center Tuesday night, bouncing back from a near-blowout loss to Michigan State over the weekend.

Winners of six of their last eight, the Badgers got a favorable matchup against the struggling Huskers, who entered the night with three consecutive losses. Early on, however, it was clear that Nebraska came to play.

The Huskers started the game 4-for-4 shooting en route to a 9–6 lead, but the Badgers found a way to keep responding via 3-pointers. In the first half alone, the Badgers made eight 3-pointers from six different players.
