December 09, 2015 | Men's Basketball, Mike Lucas

Mike Lucas gives his thoughts on the Badgers' 68-67 loss to the Panthers

By: Mike Lucas

UWBadgers.com Senior Writer Mike Lucas offered his observations from Wisconsin's 68-67 loss to Milwaukee at the Kohl Center. Get it straight from the source by following @LucasAtLarge on Twitter.

UWM switched last 2 UW poss. with Bronson Koenig drawing 6-9 Brett Prahl. Made 3 to keep Badgers alive. Missed step back for win. Good looks

Badgers opened door for Milwaukee by making only 3 of last 14 shots in 1st half. Kept it open by making only 4 of first 14 in the 2nd half

On 3 straight poss in 1st Half Nigel Hayes hit jumper when defender didn't close, drove & scored when defender closed & fed Thomas for layup

Ethan Happ had 9 of his game-high 15 rebounds in 1st half with 4 coming on offensive glass. Took only one shot in the 2nd half.

Telling stat: Milwaukee was 22 of 27 from free throw line, 14 of 16 in 2nd half. Badgers made just 12 of last 19 from the stripe. Costly
