Oates: All not lost in defeat for Taylor, Badgers

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Kammron Taylor took the loss especially hard, but he should know he’s not alone.
The University of Wisconsin senior guard had teammates, coaches and an entire state sharing his pain after UW went from the euphoria of being ranked No. 1 to the disappointment of being relegated to second place in the Big Ten Conference in record time. With their 49-48 loss to second-ranked Ohio State in a two-hour tug-of-war Sunday at the Value City Arena, the top-ranked Badgers saw their magical season go “poof” in less than a week.
