Despite a late-game rally from the Wisconsin Badgers, the BYU Cougars survived a 91–89 nail-biter on Saturday night to advance to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2011.
The Badgers were trailing by 11 at the half, but brought the game within two points by the end. And their chances to tie or win were kept alive until the final seconds, but a hesitant attempted fade from Wisconsin guard John Tonje followed by some solid defense from BYU served as the nail in the coffin. (If only the busted scorebug had been right all along...)
