Wisconsin Edges UTRGV in Thrilling Overtime Victory
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Bucky's 5th Quarter
The Wisconsin Badgers narrowly defeated UT Rio Grande Valley 87-84, with John Blackwell leading the team with a career-high 30 points. Despite the win, Wisconsin struggled defensively, allowing 52 points in the first half and showing vulnerabilities against ball screens and rotations. The Badgers adjusted their lineup to counter the Vaqueros' pace, using smaller rotations and relying heavily on their wings and bench depth. Wisconsin's defense needs improvement for sustained success in future games.
