The Buckeyes looked like they didn’t want to be there against Wisconsin through the first half of a Big Ten road contest in Madison. There was a lack of effort, poor shooting, and a sense of tentativeness that led to a halftime deficit of 37-20.

The Badgers lost almost all of a 17-point halftime lead, but hit on 25 of 28 free throw attempts and posted 70-68 win over the Buckeyes.
