On the game
"We played such a tough game to get it to overtime.
Bo Barber made a great call on an end of game action we run and then stepped up to knock down two free throws to tie the game.
Isaiah Veal continues to get better as he gets back into playing shape.
Beril Kabamba,
Steven Lyles and
Eli Lenihan were their usual yeomen-like selves. Trying to make up 20 points per game from an injured starter is a really tough task. I loved our grit to get it to overtime."
Up Next
The Badgers will finish its Tennessee road trip at Lane on Monday.
