Offense: C+
Wisconsin finished the game 7-for-21 (33.3 percent) from three. The Badgers, in particular, struggled with their perimeter shots throughout the second half as they only made three of their 11 attempts.
Despite the struggles, Wisconsin made the one that they needed to count the most, which was Brad Davison’s game winning three with 11 seconds to go in the game. Davison was able to catch the basketball off of an in-bounds play open in the corner thanks to a Nate Reuvers screen.
Before Davison’s made three to give Wisconsin the lead for good he had missed his two previous 3-point attempts in the second half. But Wisconsin was able to draw up a good play for Davison out of the timeout following his critical steal, which helped set up Davison’s game winning play.
Davison finished the game 5-for-9 from the field and 2-for-5 from three as he was one of three Badgers to reach double figures. Nate Reuvers led the way with 17 points and Micah Potter also scored 14 points. Overall, Wisconsin shot 22-for-49 (44.9 percent) from the field.
For the second consecutive game, D’Mitrik Trice failed to score as he missed all five of his shots. Despite Trice’s shooting struggles continuing he did do well of setting his teammates up for success on the offensive end.
As Trice was responsible for four of Wisconsin’s 11 assists on the night to one turnover. Wisconsin didn’t beat themselves on the offensive end as they did well of taking care of the basketball as they only turned the basketball over seven times, marking the Badgers third straight game of committing nine or fewer turnovers.
