>>Wisconsin Hands Hoosiers First Big Ten Loss
The Wisconsin Badgers handed the Indiana Hoosiers their first loss in Big Ten play Tuesday in an 82-79 overtime decision. It was a back-and-forth battle that featured terrific performances from Wisconsin's Nigel Hayes and Indiana's Yogi Ferrell.
Ferrell scored 30 on 12-of-20 shooting from the field, and was largely a dominating force on the offensive end for a Hoosiers team that largely struggled to establish anything away from him.
Hayes scored 31 points on 7-of-12 shooting from the field and 17 of 22 from the line as the Hoosiers simply had no one who could stay in front of him. Ethan Happ scored a career-high 25 points for Wisconsin.
Ferrell's 3 with 5 seconds left pulled the Hoosiers within 80-79 before Hayes stretched the lead back to three with two free throws.
But Indiana (17-4, 7-1) never had a chance to give Ferrell one last shot to tie after Hayes tipped away OG Anunoby's inbounds pass as time expired.
The Badgers (12-9, 4-4 Big Ten) have won three straight games, each by six points or less, after having lost three straight by five points or less.
