Wisconsin basketball lost to BYU, 91-89, in the second round of the March Madness bracket. Recap of highlights of NCAA tournament game from Ball Arena in Denver.

Wisconsin grinded its way back into the March Madness win column, getting double-digit scoring from five players on the way to an 85-66 victory over Montana.

BYU withstood a ferocious charge from Wisconsin’s John Tonje to hold off the Badgers for a 91-89 victory that sends the program to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011.

The Badgers' ceiling is a Final Four loss to the Midwest regional champion, but that would require upsetting teams like Alabama and Duke. The most likely outcome for Wisconsin is a Sweet 16 loss to Alabama after navigating through the first two rounds.

BYU set the tone early that an 11-0 Big Ten start was not meant to be. The Cougars jumped out to a 23-14 lead at the midway point of the fist half then extended it to 47-36 at the break. Wisconsin struggled to slow a BYU attack that was hot inside and out.

Wisconsin men's basketball coach Greg Gard spoke about how the Badgers can avoid repeating a first-round March Madness upset like 2024 against James Madison. Wisconsin plays Montana in the first round of the 2025 NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Wisconsin didn't get to stay close to home for March Madness. Instead of playing in Milwaukee where most thought the Badgers would be for the early rounds, Greg Gard's team is in Denver.
