MADISON, Wis. (AP)--Freshman reserve Aaron White scored 16 of his 18 points in the second half and Iowa stunned No. 11 Wisconsin 72-65 on Saturday, snapping the Badgers' six-game winning streak.
White was 6 of 7 from the field, including two 3-pointers, and made all four of his free throws as the Hawkeyes (9-6, 1-1 Big Ten) held on to beat the Badgers for just the third time in the past 15 meetings.
Senior Bryce Cartwright added 17 points and sophomore Melsahn Basabe had 14 for Iowa against the vaunted Wisconsin defense which came in allowing a national-best 44.4 points per game and hadn't given up more than 61 in any game.
Senior Jordan Taylor had 17 points to lead Wisconsin (12-3, 1-1), which shot 3 for 28 from 3-point range. The Badgers had won their previous 12 Big Ten home openers at the Kohl Center.
