Badgers Drop 5th Straight Game To Maryland 68-63

For the first time in 17 years, the Wisconsin Badgers won’t have a winning record in Big Ten Conference play.  Sunday’s 68-63 loss at Maryland made that a reality.  Wisconsin lost for the fifth straight time despite 18 points and nine rebounds from Ethan Happ.  A Badger lineup of three freshmen and two juniors wiped out most of a 10-point halftime deficit, but the young team couldn’t take the lead.  Wisconsin’s record is 10-15, 3-9 in conference play.  The Badgers play at Illinois Thursday.  They beat the Illini in their first meeting this year – and haven’t won a game since.
