But perhaps what's even more impressive is that with Purdue and Michigan's victories, the Big Ten is a perfect 10-0 in the 2025 NCAA Tournament. That's the first time in history that a conference has had that many first- and second-round victories.

BYU set the tone early that an 11-0 Big Ten start was not meant to be. The Cougars jumped out to a 23-14 lead at the midway point of the fist half then extended it to 47-36 at the break. Wisconsin struggled to slow a BYU attack that was hot inside and out.

Graduate guard John Tonje's last-second attempt to force overtime was off the mark and the Badgers lost to the Cougars, 91-89, Saturday night.
