Eight years ago today at the Kohl Center, Wisconsin guard Ben Brust nailed one of the most improbable clutch shots in Badger history. Down three against No. 3 Michigan and having to go the length of the court in less than 3 seconds, unranked Wisconsin turned towards the former Mundelein Cons High School star. Brust delivered with a one-handed heave from over 40 feet to tie the game at 60.
Happy @BenBrust Day! 🎉#OTD in 2013, the former @BadgerMBB G hit a buzzer-beater that will never get old.

The electricity of the Kohl Center and a Brust go-ahead three in OT finished off the 65-62 upset win.
