UW shot poorly early, got hot in spurts after halftime but ultimately couldn't hit enough shots or get enough stops and lost to the Spartans.
"You know, we didn't lose the game in the last two minutes. "It's all those things we did before, well before we got down the stretch," Gard said, alluding to early foul trouble, missed shots and giving up key offensive rebounds. "He was getting to his spots," Wahl said. "But not good enough for long enough stretches to be able to stay in the tournament." "But a lot of those shots just were on me, rushed through them or just didn't get the look that I wanted to." But I'm sure his injury, when he went down there last week and probably didn't get to practice much had something to do with it. Davis, who practiced sparingly during the week after suffering a right-ankle injury in the regular-season finale, was out of sync from the start and appeared to be pressing in the opening half when he hit just 1 of 10 shots. He fouled out with 50 seconds left and UW trailing, 62-58. That's a really good basketball team. After a timeout by UW, Max Christie (eight points) blocked Davis' drive. "So all in all, I'm just excited that we won a game, get a chance to advance and maybe starting to do some of the things we hadn't done." "Just missed shots," sophomore guard Johnny Davis said.
The Badgers just didn't have "it" on Friday night and will now await their NCAA Tournament seeding on Sunday.
The Badgers, on the other hand, were 12-of-21 from the charity stripe with no miss more glaring than Davison’s and-one attempt with 26 seconds left that would’ve narrowed the lead to two. However, the Badgers hung around and some clutch three point shooting from Hepburn evened the score at 58 with just under two minutes to go. Ben Carlson played nine minutes in the first half and had three rebounds and a steal.

Davison hit a pair of 3-pointers sandwiched around a Hoggard jumper, then Hauser hit another jumper to make it 56-50 with 5:27 to play.

Then Davis got going off an inbound pass, drawing contact on Brown and converting the three-point play to give the Badgers their first lead, 32-30, with 15:58 to play. "I'm just excited that we won a game and get a chance to advance," Izzo said. "So it's just coming out with that energy again and trying to prove him right." Bingham tied a career high with 19 points, 13 of them in the second half, and grabbed seven of his 11 rebounds after halftime. MSU limited the Badgers to just 7-for-29 overall in the half. "In a normal year, it would have just been, 'Let's move on.' ... I felt some joy, because I was happy that some guys came through and did the things that you've taught." No. 12 Wisconsin (24-7) tied the game at 58 with 1:54 to play on a Chucky Hepburn 3-pointer.

Not really 100 percent sure what to say about this game. Wisconsin lost to Michigan State by six points, shot incredibly poorly and had their best player ...
He rebounded the ball well (11 total boards, one offensive) and played solid defense like usual, but the Badgers needed him to be the offensive star he had been all season too. Wisconsin also missed their first four free throws of the game which was during a three-minute stretch that they were struggling to score. Say they made those four freebies, then the score would’ve been 12-10 with 10:30 minutes to go in the first half instead of 12-6. Even if UW had shot just above their season average from the line, they still would’ve only made four more free throws, and still lost by two if nothing else changed.

Right now this team has the look of one that opened March with a roar and seems destined to go out with a whimper. This same script could play out at any point over the next three weeks, an opponent throwing long bodies and a disciplined game plan at Davis and squeezing the life out of UW’s offense. Michigan State deserves a ton of credit for that because, no matter who the defender, Davis didn’t have much room to operate. There have been too many troubling signs over this team’s past 80 minutes of play that make it only natural to wonder if this team’s stay in the NCAA tournament will be a short one. It had beaten Purdue in a thriller to stretch its winning streak to five games and clinch at least a share of the Big Ten Conference regular-season title. Two games, two ugly defeats, and Greg Gard’s team suddenly finds itself in soul-searching mode for the first time in what has been a splendid season.
