(Andy Manis/Associated Press)MADISON, Wis. — Mark Turgeon wasn’t trying to send a message when he pulled Melo Trimble with 4:32 remaining in Sunday’s 71-60 loss to Wisconsin — not to his junior star or to anyone else. If we would’ve made some kind of a run on them, I would’ve went back with him,” Turgeon said. But even that wasn’t enough, and Wisconsin’s onslaught early in the second half, which included a 19-5 run, allowed the Badgers to completely take control of the contest. Trimble didn’t disagree with Turgeon’s decision to pull the plug with just under five minutes left, at least not in his postgame comments to reporters. By the end of his session, before boarding a bus to head back to the airport and fly home to College Park, he decided to look onward after his team missed a major opportunity Sunday.
