MADISON, Wis. — UWBadgers.com Senior Writer Mike Lucas offered his observations after No. 17 Wisconsin topped Minnesota in overtime, 78-76, at Williams Arena on Saturday.
Get it straight from the source by following @LucasAtLarge on Twitter.
Not only did Ethan Happ make 9 of 13 FG in 2ndH/OT but he pulled down 11 of his 12 boards. Had just 1 steal but takeaway on Konate was huge

Mason denied Bronson Koenig most of game but BK hit 2 clutch 3's in OT, one off block/scramble, the other on designed play out of timeout

Nigel Hayes made a lot of good decisions with ball: when to attack, when to pull up. Schooled frosh Eric Curry by backing him down on block

For a team that had rarely been tested by close games UW had most of the clutch answers vs Michigan & Minny including 9of13 FTs in OT win

Ethan Happ collapsed on floor at final horn. Exhaustion was real so was exhilaration. Couldn't have been happier that Gophs didn't double
