Season-worse shooting dooms Badgers in loss Ole Miss forwards pace team’s win over nonexistent Wisconsin offense Spencer Smith Associate Sports Editor KANSAS CITY, Mo. — For the first time since 2006, the Wisconsin men’s basketball team left its opening round game in the NCAA tournament with a loss after falling to Mississippi, 57-46. Both fifth-seeded Wisconsin (23-12, 12-6 Big Ten) and 12th-seeded Ole Miss (27-8, 12-6 SEC) struggled to find any offensive consistency in the first half of its second round NCAA tournament game. Through the first six minutes of the game, the Badgers were able to score only four points while the Rebels were equally as stagnant with the ball in their hands and put only three points on the board. Wisconsin struggled to get any inside looks, which forced it to take long contested jump shots that didn’t fall with any regularity for the entire game. The Badgers ended the first half taking 23 shots and sinking only seven of those, good for a 30.4 field goal percentage. “That was our worst first half of the year by far,” sophomore guard Traevon Jackson said. “It was just sloppy. We were turning the ball over left and right and just doing things that just weren’t characteristic of us.” Along with its inability to score, UW gave the ball away multiple times in the first twenty minutes, turning the ball over eight times, well above the usual pace for a team that averages 9.79 turnovers a game. A positive to be taken away from the first half from Wisconsin’s standpoint was its ability to shut down Ole Miss sharpshooter and offensive gunner Marshall Henderson, who only made
ROUTS, from 8 period, ending Hellebuyck’s shutout streak at 165 minutes, 20 seconds. “He’s been playing unbelievable for us. He’s been our rock back there,” said forward Scott Wilson, who assisted on Folin’s goal in the second period. “When you see one go by, you know it’s not going to faze him and you know the next shift he’s ready to go again.” Joel Rumpel made 20 saves for the Badgers. They took a six-game winning streak into their first NCAA tournament since losing to Boston College in the 2010 championship game. “They’re young men. They want to do so well. I think it’s part of their growth,” Wisconsin coach Mike Eaves said. “Sometimes young men get out of their comfort zone and do things that they shouldn’t. We paid a high price for it.”
one of his eleven shots, although after the game Henderson said his early shooting struggles were not a credit to the Wisconsin defense. “I just didn’t make shots today,” Henderson said regarding his early struggles from the field. “It happens sometimes. Their defense wasn’t what everyone said their defense was. I just missed shots.” Coming into the second half, Wisconsin could still not consistently knock down shots despite getting open looks almost every possession in the early goings of the second half. The difference was Ole Miss’ ability to take over the post, draw fouls and get to the free throw line. Forwards Reginald Buckner and Murphy Holloway made the paint their home in the second half, getting the ball almost every possession and creating opportunities for layups or free throws. “They have some big, athletic guys inside,” senior forward Jared Berggren said. “I think we didn’t do a great job of taking in their strong, pump fake, drawing fouls. Second half, they kind of cranked up the pressure. We folded.” Ole Miss got plenty of contributions in the paint from their guard play as well, with Henderson and Jarvis Summers driving the ball strong to the rim. The Rebels ended the game with 30 points in the paint compared to the Badgers’ 16. Despite Ole Miss’ ability to control the paint, Wisconsin was still leading with just over eight minutes remaining in the game. The difference was the emergence of Henderson, who had otherwise been quiet in first half. The junior shooting guard facilitated the Rebels’ scoring in a majority of the second half hitting five shots, including three threepointers. “They just out-toughed us and managed to chip away at our lead,” freshman forward Sam Dekker.
“Henderson got some of those big shots. When he hits those, if you’re not stopping that, they’re going to be a tough team to beat.” With its dominance in the paint and Henderson making his long range jumpers, Ole Miss began to take the momentum of the game from Wisconsin, playing more physical and taking control of the game. “But for us I think for our guys, they didn’t handle the physicality in the last five-to-seven minutes,” Wisconsin head coach Bo Ryan said. “To me it seemed like the game changed and our guys didn’t react as well as they did.” With three minutes left, the game started to slip away from Wisconsin as the Badgers repeatedly missed open jump shots and threepointers while Henderson and Holloway were finishing for the Rebels on the other end of the court. In the end, the Rebels’ final push proved to be too much for Wisconsin’s anemic offense to overcome in the waning minutes. It was a somber scene in the locker room after the game as the season came to a much quicker and more abrupt halt than expected and the seniors realizing they had just worn a Wisconsin jersey for the last time. “A lot of emotions, but it’s hard to really swallow it,” Berggren said fighting back tears. “I almost felt kind of numb and then the emotions come over you and you just can’t believe it’s real, can’t believe my five years here is up. It’s gone so quick and it’s tough.” Ryan was quick to praise the effort his team put into the season and how much his team was able to accomplish in the regular season, despite battling adversity with injuries. “Well, I’m extremely proud of these guys to get here,” Ryan said. “I think there’s not too many people that wouldn’t agree with the fact that these guys really overcame a lot of odds, really did some nice things during the year.”
Rumpel had almost no offensive support as the Badgers failed to capitalize on the few mistakes made by Hellebuyck, mostly rebounds that were swept away before any Wisconsin
It was the first goal allowed by Hellebuyck since 11:01 remained in the first period of the River Hawks’ 2-1 win over Providence in theHockey East semifinals a week ago. Arnold scored for UMassLowell with 6:04 left, Chapie added an emptynetter in the final minute and McGrath finished it off with 3 seconds to play. Thompson put UMassLowell up 3-0 when he scored just before crashing into Rumpel with 5:52 left in the second. Thompson, the net, goalie and Dahl, who was trying to catch up to Thompson, all went sliding into the boards in a pile. The goal withstood a video review that showed Thompson getting off the shot before making any contact with Rumpel or the net. UMass-Lowell is playing in its second straight NCAA tournament and fifth overall.

Freshman Sam Dekker pulls his jersey to cover his face following Wisconsin’s loss to Ole Miss in the second round of the NCAA tournament. Dekker led the Badgers offensively but still struggled to make his open looks, going just 5-of-13 from the field.
TOURNEY, from 8 performance in 35 games this season. “It’s not a team that really shot the ball well all year,” UW head coach Bo Ryan said of his team. “It happened again.” As forward Ryan Evans — one of five seniors and three starters who stepped off the floor in a Wisconsin uniform for the final time at the Sprint Center Sunday — said, UW knew its defense compensates for a few painful stretches where the ball refused to fall through the bottom of the net. Yet on Friday, when the Badgers’ most efficient shooter was the freshman Dekker, who finished 5-of-13 from the field, even the most suffocating defense could not make up for an offense that never found its groove throughout the duration of the game. Jared Berggren, Ryan Evans and Mike Bruesewitz — the three seniors who see regular time on the court — combined to shoot 5-of22, often settling for outside looks. Thirty of the Badgers’ 59 shots as a team, in fact, came from beyond the three-point arc. It marked a reversion to relying on threepoint shooting to win games, an approach that faded in last weekend’s Big Ten tournament
but returned with a vengeance in a second half where UW jacked up 17 three-pointers. Despite the lack of offense, there were still opportunities to assume control in the second half and send the Rebels back to Oxford. With Wisconsin holding onto a six-point lead and 11:49 left in the second half, the Badgers were perfectly positioned to score a few quick buckets and mount a double-digit lead. But sophomore guard Traevon Jackson missed three consecutive shots as Rebels guard Marshall Henderson answered with two quick threepointers. They marked his first two three-point baskets of the game after the junior gunner missed his first six tries and the lead had evaporated. “I felt like we were getting pretty good looks,” Berggren said. “I know with all the threes that I took besides the last one in the corner, (which) was kind of out of desperation, all the other ones were wide open. I was squared up, they all felt good coming off. They just rimmed out or came off the mark, so it was frustrating.” That frustration was amplified by the moment, none bigger than the game’s final 1:47, the Badgers within four after Jackson sunk a pair of free throws. As Ole Miss added to
its lead at the free throw line, Wisconsin missed its final seven shots, six of them three-pointers. Although some of the later tries turned into desperation heaves as the Rebels pulled away, it was a fitting end for a game — and a season — defined by a lack of offensive consistency. Bo Ryan’s offense had found an open Ben Brust squared up behind the three-point line, but the usually automatic makes for the junior didn’t fall as often Friday. Jackson had multiple opportunities on the afternoon to hit his signature midrange jumpers a step or two into the paint. The Ole Miss defense, players agreed, had done nothing miraculous to slow UW’s offensive production. “I think the numbers kind of show it, when we struggled we just shot the ball poorly,” Berggren said. “It’s hard to pinpoint a reason why. I know we have guys that put in the time and the hard work, but sometimes you don’t really get out of it what you put in and it’s tough at this point to swallow it.” Old habits, it turned out, truly are hard to break. And for Wisconsin, they returned at the worst possible moment costing them the chance at a third consecutive run to the Sweet Sixteen.
