MADISON, Wis. -- The last meeting between then-seeded No. 2 Xavier and Wisconsin featured a buzzer-beating 3-pointer by Badgers guard Bronson Koenig in a 2016 NCAA Tournament game that catapulted the Badgers to the Sweet 16.
The sting of the 66-63 setback still lingers for Musketeers junior guard Kaiser Gates, who is eager for a rematch on Thursday when Wisconsin (2-0) hosts No. 15 Xavier (2-0) in a nonconference game at the Kohl Center. The game is part of the Gavitt Tipoff Games tournament.
"I still think about the shot going in at the buzzer," Gates said.
