Top 60 sports games of the decade: #58

January 19th 2019: Wisconsin knocks off #2 Undefeated Michigan, gets program back on track.

The 2017-18 season was bitterly disappointing for Wisconsin basketball, as they missed the NCAA tournament for the first time since 1998, ending one of the longest streaks in the country. Heading into the 2018-19 campaign fans were eager to set the program back on the right path. The Badgers entered the game against undefeated and #2 Michigan on January 19th with a 12-5 record, a noted improvement from the prior year, but still on the bubble for the tournament as some were still skeptical this team was actually better than last year. All questions were answered with a resounding double digit victory against #2 Michigan, placing Wisconsin firmly back in the tournament after a one year absence, and declaring that last years failure of a team was just a one year blip.
