Last October the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes, ranked number one in the nation, traveled to Madison to play the Wisconsin Badgers. They went home no longer undefeated, and were no longer number one the next day. This week the undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes, ranked number one in the nation, traveled to Madison to play the Wisconsin Badgers. The sport was men's basketball this time, not football like last fall, but the game had the same result--Ohio State is going home with a loss. The score was 71 to 67. We'll have to wait until Monday to see what happens to their ranking.
With Wisconsin down by 15 early in the second half, Jordan Taylor came alive with 21 points in the last 13 minutes, draining 3 point shots almost at will. Mike Brusewitz grabbed a critical late offensive rebound, and his three pointer with 28 seconds left cemented the game for the Badgers.
At the end the crowd stormed the floor, and hoisted their heroes to their shoulders.
It's been a great year to be a Wisconsin alum (and an Ohio native).
