On Sunday evening, the 3-seed Wisconsin Badgers met the 11-seed Iowa State Cyclones in Milwaukee with a trip to the Sweet 16 on the line. Both teams shot incredibly poorly, but ISU shot just a little bit better and played lock-down defense the entire game to get the 54-49 victory.
As many predicted, the game started off slowly with both teams missing a bunch of shots and neither offense able to find a rhythm. The officials inserted themselves into the game early and often, usually in Wisconsin’s favor as the Cyclones racked up 14 fouls in the first half.
