Wisconsin clamps down on Virginia, improves to 9-0
Josh Gasser led all scorers with 11 points and Wisconsin limited Virginia to its lowest point total since a 77-36 loss to Connecticut on Nov. 29, 1993. The Cavaliers shot just 23 percent (11 of 47) and went 1 for 11 on 3-pointers.
And while Virginia's nationally ranked defense kept Wisconsin well off its 76.8-point average, the Badgers' defense and Virginia's inability to convert on offense made it an ugly game.
The game was a rematch from last year's ACC/Big Ten Challenge, when Virginia won 60-54 in Madison, Wis., behind 22 points from Joe Harris. This time, Gasser had a big hand in keeping the Cavaliers' leading scorer quiet.
