    The Badgers advanced in the 2021 Big Ten Tournament after a successful outing on Thursday. They escaped with a win against the Penn State Nittany Lions, 75-74. Wisconsin relied on the efforts of forward Aleem Ford, who shot 5-for-6 from beyond the arc and finished with 17 points, and guard Brad Davison, who had 15 points and five assists.

    The Badgers shot a staggering 52.2 percent from the 3-point line in the victory and are now 9-0 straight up when they shoot better than 40 percent from beyond the arc.
