Wisconsin’s Greg Gard on OT loss to Indiana: ‘I’ve never seen anything like that’

Indiana men’s basketball retook the lead over Wisconsin in the closing seconds of overtime to seal a 78-77 win over the Badgers after two late foul calls went against the latter.

The first of the two calls was a charge called on Badgers guard Nick Boyd. The Hoosiers were looking to trap Boyd, who evaded and made contact with a trailing Enright with just 15 seconds left in the game, resulting in the charge. From there, Indiana got the ball to Lamar Wilkerson down by just one point. Wilkerson drove on another Badgers guard, John Blackwell, and earned a whistle after taking a fall with Blackwell’s foot stepping on his pivoting ankle.

Wilkerson made both free throws and a last-second prayer from Badgers guard Braeden Carrington soared well over the rim as Indiana closed out the win.

Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard commented on the sequence after the game, saying Enright was fouling Boyd prior to the charge.

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Gard said. “They’re trying to foul, they actually fouled us three times coming up the floor.”
