Wisconsin fans are not happy after this one.
The Badgers dropped their third straight game, this one 72-68 on the road at Michigan — arguably the worst team in the Big Ten. Wisconsin in the last week has lost at Nebraska, at home against Purdue and now at Michigan. The team has gone from alone in first place in the conference to a distant third and down to a 3-seed in most bracketologies.

The loss drops Wisconsin to 16-7 on the season and 8-4 in the Big Ten. The team entered last week ranked No. 6 in the nation. It’s No. 11 this week, but that is likely to drop further.
Even worse news: The schedule doesn’t get easier on Saturday afternoon. Wisconsin will travel to Rutgers, a place that is notoriously tough to play.

It’s safe to say Wisconsin social media was unhappy after the latest loss, especially given the events of the last week and Michigan’s 7-15 record entering the contest.
#Badgers staring at a third consecutive loss, this one potentially to the last place team in the Big Ten that’s lost 10 of its last 11.
Michigan ahead 58-52 with 7:33 left.
Another dreadful night for UW with ball security. Already 11 turnovers.

the Badgers can’t even get an honest to goodness shot attempt on offense

F-around jacking stupid shots and turning the ball over against a team who can’t stop you from shooting layups, and that is what you get. I know Michigan pulled some shots out of their ass, but it doesn’t matter if you play Wisconsin ball.

It’s magical. 7 footer Steven Crowl continues to disappear game after game. #OnWisconsin

Badgers are now 6-5 when their big guy scores under 12.
He’s not involved in the plot though https://t.co/FtLKPEZ5S4

If Crowl and Storr don’t start playing better, we are going to see more games like this one.
