Wisconsin beat Syracuse in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge for the second straight year Tuesday night in Madison, Wisc. It was Syracuse’s second straight defeat.
Thursday night, top-seeded Syracuse survived a barrage of three-pointers by #4-seed Wisconsin to claim a place in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament.
In a game that will likely be remembered for torrid offense, it was actually defense that carried Syracuse to a 64-63 win over Wisconsin in the Sweet 16.
