Another Buckeyes Team Goes Down » Brats & Beer

What a sweet victory for the Badgers over Ohio State tonight. It was ugly at times, high flying at times, and down to the wire, but Wisconsin got the win in the end, 72-69. Pretty nice work, boys.

How about that Kam Taylor scoring 25, including 5-8 from the floor, 3-6 from three-point range, and 12-16 free throws? Good thing too, considering Alondo Tucker made just 1-6 from the line all night. Flowers and Landry also put in double digits for the Badgers. All around a good team effort.

It did get a hairy there at the end, with the Buckeyes pumping in three-pointers and creeping up as time was running out. But a good defensive effort there at the end forced Ohio State to take the ball inside for a layup and Taylor made that last free throw with seven seconds, all but sealing the win.

So now the Badgers travel have to get through Northwestern, Purdue, and Illinois before they play Michigan, who could be 17-3 when that game rolls around. Wisconsin needs to keep up the intensity; I’m feeling good things are going to happen for this team.
