Let?s eliminate the No.?1 question on the minds of Wisconsin basketball fans in the wake of UW?s stunning 53-52 Big Ten Conference victory Wednesday night at Michigan.
Freshman guard Josh Gasser did not call the bank shot.
“I wasn?t trying to bank it in,” said Gasser, who did everything else right on the final play of the game. “I was trying to get it up there and have a prayer.”
Consider your prayer answered, young man. Gasser?s three-pointer, from about 20 feet on the right wing and off a remarkable feed from guard Jordan Taylor, beat the buzzer, buried an improved Michigan team and led to Gasser being buried by his jubilant teammates in the backcourt.
