26-32, NW leads it at halftime. Announcers saying NW's defense has been very stingy, so far.

This game had been postponed on Saturday, due to Covid issues at NW.
Bucky on an 8-0 run coming out of the break, take the lead, 34-32, on a Hepburn 3 from the loop!
NW's Berry rolls his ankle driving to the hoop and is down. Looked painful. The 2nd ankle roll on NW, tonight.
Wahl wide open, under the hoop, misses the shot and then fouls the rebounder. Bench time for Wahl, who has 3 fouls.
Jordan Davis with a 3, now has a career high 15 points.
Bucky in the double bonus, as NW commits its 10th foul.
Bucky shooting poorly and then fouling, will cost them the game. Hepburn got fouled on a 3. At the line, for 3 FTs. Bucky down 62-66. Hepburn misses the 1st FT. He needed to make the first two and then hope to get a rebound, on the third FT, for a 2 point bucket to tie the game with about .6 on the clock.
Bucky loses 63-66.
I missed this one, did they go 15 minutes without a point?
9-16 from the FT line. UW had the foul advantage and you make more of the FTs it’s likely they win the game.

Yes, Wahl was back for the Penn State game.

No, the lead was back and forth all night, especially in the 2nd half. Bucky could have pulled away , but was missing shots. I think the lead changed hands about 15 times, last night. The Refs cancelled a basket by McGee, when he was fouled by a defender in the restricted area. That might have made a difference in the outcome.
I tuned in late for this game. At half time, to be exact. No Klesmit, yet. Don't know how serious his injury, from the Penn State game was, when he got elbowed to the mouth/ nose area.
Bucky shot 9-16 from the charity stripe. They could have won this game if they made their FTs. Wahl, Crowl, and Hepburn all missed FTs, in this game. 9-16 from the line. Essegian and Gilmore made all their FTs, 2-2 each.
And some of those misses were the front end of 1 &1. Those are the misses that really kill you.
The Badgers just have no room for error. They have to be exceptional on fundamentals and they are not. They are shooting 66% for the season at the FT line. That's a lot of easy point to lose out on and it's even worse than the stats indicate. Like Ammo said, some of those are 1 and 1s. If you count those missed opportunities the Badgers are probably getting less than 60% of the points available at the FT line. Gone are the days when the Badgers were proficient at the FT line.

I think the inefficiency at the FT line, began to manifest itself, on this team, with Ethan Happ. I wonder if Gard has them practice FTs?
