The Wisconsin Badgers suffered their first loss of the season, falling short to No. 3 Kansas in a 69-68 overtime thriller in the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament semifinals.
One day after winning a close 43-42 contest over the Dayton Flyers, the Badgers overcame a 15-point deficit to force overtime, but junior forward Tyler Wahl’s efforts were not enough to upset the Jayhawks.
The two teams began in a back-and-forth bout, with a Chucky Hepburn three-pointer matching a Gradey Dick three-pointer at the 10:58 mark, tying the game at nine a piece.
However, Kansas slowly pulled away with the lead, going on an 8-0 run to take a 22-12 lead at the 6:42 mark in the first half.
