Wisconsin outlasts Colgate 67-60 as Davis leads comeback
Associated PressMILWAUKEE — Johnny Davis offered a simple explanation for how Wisconsin stepped up down the stretch to avoid a first-round upset. “That’s all it was.” Davis scored Wisconsin’s last 14 points and finished with 25 as the Big Ten co-champion Badgers came from behind to beat Colgate 67-60 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday night. “I’ve been to a lot of great venues in this country: Cameron Indoor Stadium, the Palestra, Rupp Arena, Phog Allen Fieldhouse,” Colgate coach Matt Langel said. That typically doesn’t happen in NCAA Tournament games.” The 14th-seeded Raiders made six of their first seven 3-point shots in the second half, with Richardson going 4 for 4 from beyond the arc in the first five minutes. The game got a little bit more physical, as you would expect from a Big Ten champion in the guts of a close game.” BIG PICTURE Wisconsin: Davis didn’t score in the first 10 1/2 minutes but was huge when it mattered.
