Wisconsin men’s basketball: UW survives Colgate, moves on to round of 32

The No. 3 seed Wisconsin Badgers made the short trip down I-94 to Fiserv Forum (otherwise known as “Kohl Center East”) in Milwaukee on Friday night to take on the No. 14 Colgate Raiders in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. It’s rare that a team plays a true home tournament game, but Badger Nation showed up big time for the late tip.

UW took control of the game late and escaped a first round scare from the Patriot League champs, winning this one 67-60.

The Badgers came out of the locker room sluggish, which is beginning to become an unfortunate trend for this team at the wrong time.
