Wisconsin just caught fire from deep and thrived off it. The Badgers made 19 3-pointers, and when an offense is rolling like that, there's not many teams that are going to beat it. UCLA coach Mick Cronin addressed the media after the loss,

When you get to a platform like this, you have an obligation to tell the truth. I know it makes me a target,” Cronin said.

With the loss, the UCLA is out of the Big Ten Tournament while Wisconsin moves on to the semifinals against top seed Michigan State. UCLA and Mick Cronin now await their possible NCAA Tournament fate with Selection Sunday approaching on Mar. 16.
