SB Nation’s Wisconsin blog, Bucky’s 5th Quarter, says that the Badgers blew a golden opportunity by losing to Michigan State Wednesday night. It was a particularly frustrating night for one of Wisconsin’s key performers.
Bucky’s 5th Quarter: Blown Opportunity
Senior point guard Trevon Hughes had a particularly frustrating night, which included a first half ankle injury that required him to go back to the locker room for treatment before returning minutes later. It’s unclear how much the injury affected him during the game, but Hughes only made 3-of-12 shots on the night and was held to just seven points.
In a game where Michigan State left the door open to Wisconsin so many times, Hughes was just as guilty as anyone for not taking advantage. With the score tied 22-22 with 18:04 left in the game, Hughes went to the line with the opportunity to give Wisconsin its first lead of the game. Instead, he missed both of them. It would be his only trip to the line the entire game.
But at the end of the post there is a reminder that all is not lost for Wisconsin.
...the 14-0 Purdue Boilermakers come to the Kohl Center Saturday afternoon. It’s another opportunity and one that cannot be missed.
