Lucas At Large: MBB: Wisconsin 56, Minnesota 51

Here's what Mike Lucas had to say about Wisconsin's hard-fought 56-51 victory over Minnesota on Wednesday night!

"Nothing like playing with the lead for 37:42. Esp on the road. Esp in the Barn where the home crowd never got a chance to influence outcome. Tied twice (3-3 & 19-19). Was one poss game in final 2-minutes when D’Mitrik Trice delivered a dagger, a 3-pt hit over the 6-9 Eric Curry."

"Nice homecoming for Nate Reuvers. His high school choir (Lakeville North) sang anthem. He then hit a lot of high notes:9pts, 8rebs, 7blocks. Has at least one block in 11 str. Win was gritty if not pretty. Defense put clamps on Coffey & McBrayer. Had 35pts in Madison; only 11 here"
