No.21 Wisconsin was held scoreless for the final 7:41 of regulation, but Jordan Taylor came to the rescue. His defense helped force overtime and five of his game-high 27 points helped ice the game, as the Badgers survive a late Gophers charge to win 68-61 Thursday night.

For a change, Wisconsin is playing better on the road in the Big Ten than it is at home.
The No. 21 Badgers could be in for a stiff test as they try to win four straight on the road for the first time in four years while looking to avoid a third consecutive loss at Minnesota on Thursday night.
Normally one of the toughest teams in the country to beat at home, Wisconsin (18-6, 7...

Jordan Taylor scored 27 points for his first college win in his home state, and No. 21 Wisconsin gutted out a 68-61 overtime victory at Minnesota on Thursday night.
The Badgers (19-6, 8-4 Big Ten) failed to score over the last 7 1/2-plus minutes of the second half while the Gophers (17-8, 5-7) dug out of a 13-point hole. But that dogged Wisconsin defense came back in overtime, even...

A Bo Ryan-led Wisconsin Badgers squad will rarely impress you with pure talent, but that doesn’t mean they can’t win. The Badgers run one of the least sexy offenses in the country and play such fundamental defense that they almost lull opposing teams to sleep.
This season has been no different with the #22 Badgers checking in at 19-6 and 8-4 in the Big Ten Conference...

FOXSportsNorth.comMINNEAPOLIS He wouldn't have wanted to remember it like that.With a 51-49 lead and just 1:12 remaining in the Badgers' eventual 68-61 win over Minnesota on Thursday night, Jordan Taylor shot too soon. He wasn't set; he was rushed, and the senior guard's 3-point shot landed nowhere near the basket. It got worse. Just a turnover later...

It wasn't pretty for the last 8 minutes of the second half but UW pulled out another Big Ten road win at Minnesota.
UW went 8 minutes and 49 seconds in the 2nd half and OT without scoring. How many perrenial top-20 programs consistently have prolonged scoring droughts like the Badgers? I'm guessing just them.
I've given up on ever being able to defend UW's style...

On Thursday night the Gophers and Badgers renew their always heated rivalry, with a lot on the line. The Golden Gophers are one win away from reaching .500 in the Big Ten and a clear path to the NCAA tournament. With a win, the Badgers can climb right back into the thick of the Big Ten race, and all but lock up an NCAA tournament bid themselves. Throw in national television coverage...

His numbers are down compared to last year, but senior guard Jordan Taylor doesn't care as long as Wisconsin is winning. With the Badgers two games out of first place heading into tonight's matchup with Minnesota, all Taylor cares about is getting his first win is his own backyard.

It had all the makings of a late-game collapse for No.21 Wisconsin. The shots - especially the three-pointer - stopped falling, a 10-point lead had dissipated and its momentum was gone. Thanks to senior guard Jordan Taylor, however, the Badgers managed to force overtime and run away with it from there - outlasting Minnesota, 68-61, at Williams Arena Thursday.
