Ethan Happ had 26 points and 10 rebounds as Wisconsin handed No. 2 Michigan its first loss of the season, breaking away in the final minute for a 64-54 victory at home on Saturday. “This group’s mentality, even with the struggles we’ve had, has always been a fighter’s mentality,” Badgers Coach Greg Gard said. The Wolverines (17-1, 6-1) closed the deficit to 57-54 on Isaiah Livers’s 3-pointer with just under a minute to play. Michigan put on a full-court press that the Badgers broke, and Ignas Brazdeikis was whistled for an intentional foul on Happ, who was across the court from the ball.
