 OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Maybe Bucknell could've found a scheme to stop Wisconsin's Mike Wilkinson or Zach Morley. Handling both, however, was too much for the upstart Bison.
The 6-foot-8 forwards consistently put themselves in all the right places, especially when things were tight in the second half, carrying the Badgers to a 71-62 victory Sunday in the second round of the NCAA tournament that sent 14th-seeded Bucknell back to its Pennsylvania campus with plenty to be proud of nonetheless.
Morley, who was shut out in 28 minutes of a first-round win over Northern Iowa, was 6-of-7 with three 3-pointers and 15 points. His tap-in with 8:41 left put the Badgers (24-8) ahead for good, then he protected the lead with rebounds on the next two defensive stands. He finished with eight boards.
