I took out the last 20 seconds. That cost KJ Windham a 3 pointer.
Not a good ending for Ty Berry, with a raw -13, much of which was attributable to his 2 for 8 shooting and 4 turnovers.
Not much from Mullins and Ciaravino either.
Nick Martinelli finished on a strong note.
Matt Nicholson missed a couple of tip attempts and had a dunk in the first half. He didn't attempt a shot in the 2nd half.
Wisconsin seemed to have a pretty good handle on what we would try to do on both ends of the floor - no doubt they were scouting us in the Minnesota game.
Nolan Winter almost played Nick Martinelli to a draw, while guarding him, so that was a problem we would never overcome.
The Wildcats other than Martinelli and Windham were 8 for 31 from the floor.
Having said that, NU was actually ahead 17-14 when Collins took Martinelli off the floor with 10:33 to go in the first half.
Martinelli only had 1 foul, I think Collins just tried to get him a breather.
Wisconsin hit NU with a 6-0 spurt against Nicholson/Mullins/Ciaravino/Berry/Clayton.
I don't think we ever led after that.
We had a late 14-8 run with Nicholson/martinelli/Mullins/Clayton /Windham.
But really nothing was working against Wisconsin. Perhaps some of that can be attributed to fatigue.
The season comes to a disappointing end - at least versus my expectations 4 months ago.
