Indiana Secures Overtime Win After Late Fouls Against Wisconsin

Indiana men’s basketball secured a 78-77 overtime victory over Wisconsin after two late foul calls were made against the Badgers.

Game-Deciding Fouls Against Badgers

The first call involved Badgers guard Nick Boyd, who was called for a charge with 15 seconds remaining in the game. Boyd made contact with a trailing Enright, leading to the foul.

Subsequently, Indiana's Lamar Wilkerson, with his team down by one point, drove against Badgers guard John Blackwell and drew a foul when Blackwell’s foot made contact with Wilkerson’s pivoting ankle.

Wilkerson successfully made both free throws, and a last-second shot attempt from Badgers guard Braeden Carrington missed, finalizing Indiana's win.

Wisconsin Coach Greg Gard Weighs In

Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard commented on the sequence after the game, asserting that Enright had been attempting to foul Boyd prior to the charge call. Gard stated that attempts were made to foul his team multiple times.
