Greg Gard and the red-hot No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers basketball team traveled to the Bryce Jordan Center on Tuesday night to take on a Penn State squad led by new head coach Mike Rhoades.
When the clock struck zero, the Penn State students stormed the court, and the first-place Badgers were no longer the only unblemished team in Big Ten play, losing to the Nittany Lions 87-83.
With the loss, Wisconsin basketball falls to 13-4, with a 5-1 standing in the Big Ten on the season, maintaining their position in first place. In a perfect world, this game will be a valuable source of teachable moments for the program moving forward, much like the early loss to Providence.
