The victory marked a milestone for Badgers coach Greg Gard: It was win No. 200 of his coaching career, inching him higher on the program’s all-time coaching wins list. He’s one of four to reach that 200-win mark with the program.

Much like his first career win, the Badgers tested their coach's nerves down the stretch. But one trend continued Tuesday: Several players contributed to the victory.

That performance is a departure from Wisconsin’s impressive offensive renaissance. Gard and his staff have reworked the program’s approach in recent seasons, an initiative that has the team averaging 82.4 points per game and ranked No. 12 in KenPom offensive efficiency.

University of Wisconsin men’s basketball head coach Greg Gard earned a milestone victory as the Badgers avoided a disastrous second-half collapse to defeat the Ohio State Buckeyes 70-68 on Jan. 14. The Badgers started strong and took a 17-point lead into halftime.

The Wisconsin Badgers men’s basketball team took a 17-point lead into halftime, but it took all 40 minutes of the game on Jan. 14 to fend off the pesky Ohio State Buckeyes at the Kohl Center 70-68 to win their sixth straight game and improve to 14-3 on the season and 4-2 in the Big Ten Conference.

The University of Wisconsin men's basketball graduate forward took a cut to the basket and was fouled as the hand of an Ohio State defender came right across his face with 1:18 left in the first half Tuesday.

Ohio State, the first team to run the gauntlet of four playoff games on its way to the national title, celebrated with 30,000 Buckeyes fans on Sunday at Ohio Stadium.

Wisconsin held Nebraska to its lowest point total (55) since a Dec. 7 loss to Michigan State (52). That performance raised the Badgers’ KenPom defensive efficiency ranking to No. 50 nationally, the highest it’s been all season. That pushed the team’s overall ranking to No. 14.

The Badgers aren't a team that could press or apply full-court pressure, yet they still grow closer to a team that could defend at an elite level after another solid day.
