Wisconsin basketball: Badgers win thriller over No. 4 Michigan State

MADISON -- Time after time this season, the Wisconsin Badgers have walked off the court on the wrong side of a close contest.

Trailing by four with under 30 seconds to play against the No. 4 Michigan State Spartans at the Kohl Center on Sunday, they made a point to be the ones celebrating a last-minute victory.

Extraordinary efforts from Bronson Koenig and Nigel Hayes put the Badgers in a position to pull off the upset and Ethan Happ's game-winning layup through traffic with 10 seconds left finished off the effort as the Badgers (10-9, 3-4 Big Ten) defeated the Spartans 78-77.
