Two Out of Three 'Aint Bad

Sunday marked a chance at history for the Wisconsin men's basketball team, and the athletic department as a whole. The opportunity to defeat a number one ranked team three times in a year. Something that was not meant to be after the Buckeyes shot the Badgers out of the gym.

The overall statistic that summed up the season finale for the Badgers was the three point shooting of the Buckeyes. With Ohio State hitting on 14 of 15 three pointers for 93% from behind the arch.

Perhaps the even more amazing than missing only one three pointer for the Buckeyes was the fact that it was the first three pointer. Missed by Buckeye senior John Diebler who felt sorry about missing the only three pointer for the Buckeyes.

"I apologize for missing that one," said Diebler in the post-game press conference. Then followed with a laugh by the press corp.

Diebler may have missed that one three pointer, but the senior cashed in on his fair share against the Badgers. Hitting seven of those 14 three pointers as he notched a game high 27 points for the Buckeyes.

Notably missing for the Badgers on Sunday was the point leader in recent weeks Jordan Taylor. With only six points in the first half there was still optimism for the Badgers with Taylor matching his point total from the first half in the February meeting.

Unfortunately for the Badgers, Taylor would not tally 21 points in the second half. With only two points in the second half Taylor was relatively silent in the season finale against the Buckeyes.

With the Buckeyes high shooting percentages, and poor performances from the Badger stars Ohio State ended their season with a route of the Badgers. Getting the revenge game in Columbus, Ohio with a huge 93-65 victory.
