So close! Badgers’ final shot goes awry and Syracuse survives

BOSTON ? Time after time during his brilliant four-year career with the University of Wisconsin men?s basketball team, Jordan Taylor made 3-pointers late in the shot clock to demoralize the opponent. There was Taylor again Thursday night with the ball ? and the Badgers? season ? in his hands. The final possession was hardly a thing of beauty, but at least UW had a chance because its best player had a look at the basket, albeit a contested one from 26 feet away.
