Wisconsin's first 20 minutes against BYU did not go particularly well as the Cougars jumped out to a lead and continued to put the pressure on en route to a 47–36 advantage. For a brief moment, though, it seemed as though the Badgers had discovered a portal into unlimited points or a leftover Rock n' Jock gimmick to facilitate a quick comeback.
Trailing 38-24, John Blackwell stepped into a successful three-pointer that sent the scorebug spinning into chaos as Wisconsin was awarded point after point on that ledger. At one point the figure reached 225, which would very much be a record and was also very much incorrect.
