Men’s Basketball: Wisconsin upsets Ohio State University in marquee road win

The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team (9-5, 2-1 Big Ten) upset No. 5 Ohio State University Buckeyes (11-3, 1-2) Friday night in the team’s first signature win of the season.

Coming off of an impressive road performance against Tennessee last weekend that resulted in a 20-point victory, the Badgers came out cold against the Buckeyes, trailing 7–0 after six minutes.

Following a layup by former Buckeye Micah Potter, the Badgers found a bit of rhythm and tied the game 9–9. Wisconsin continued to shoot well through the remainder of the first half, heading into the break with a 29–25 lead.
