Michigan basketball loses for first time in high-scoring thriller
Michigan led by as many as 14 in the first half but fell victim to Wisconsin’s scorching second-half shooting. The Badgers made 10 3s in the second half and went 15 for 33 overall from deep; they shot 63% from the field in the second half and 50% for the game.
Wisconsin pulled off one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season with a 91-88 road win over No. 2 Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor. The Badgers entered this game as 19-point underdogs against the Wolverines, but handed Dusty May's squad its first loss of the 2025-26 campaign.
The Wisconsin Badgers face the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines at the Cristler Center on Saturday, January 10. Here's how you can tune into the game.
John Blackwell had 26 points, Nick Boyd scored 22 and Aleksas Bieliauskas set a career high with 17 points to lead Wisconsin to a 91-88 win over previously unbeaten, second-ranked Michigan on Saturday.
Iowa State beat Baylor to improve to 15-0. The Cyclones have No. 17 Kansas on the schedule in mid-January, but before then it faces Oklahoma State, so the road to the Jayhawks isn't easy, either.
Dusty May was not happy with the way his Michigan team played in a shocking home upset at the hands of Wisconsin.
Michigan (14-2, 5-1) looked sharp without Swords, rolling to an 86-60 win. The Wolverines have a few days off before hosting Illinois on Thursday. Swords’ classmates more than made up for her absence Sunday. Olivia Olson, Mila Holloway, and Swords’ replacement in the starting lineup, Te’Yala Delfosse, combined for 57 points.
If this past week did anything for the Wolverines, it offered a humbling reminder that nothing can be taken for granted in Big Ten play.
