Badgers Go Cold Late, Drop 59-55 Game At Temple

A put-back by freshman Aleem Ford gave Wisconsin a three-point lead with three-and-a-half minutes to go. The problem is, the Badgers didn’t score again in a 59-55 loss at Temple.  Wisconsin has dropped six out of 10 games, but five of the losses have been frustratingly close.  Ethan Happ led the Badgers Wednesday night with 23 points, but he was blanked over the final six minutes of the game.  Guard Shizz Alston Junior topped the Owls with 22.  He made a pair of free throws in the final five seconds which sealed the win — giving him a Temple school record of 52 straight free throws made.  The Badgers are back in action Saturday against Marquette.
