Ohio State vs. Wisconsin

Number one Ohio State suffered its first loss of the NCAA Men’s College Basketball season Saturday against the Wisconsin Badgers.  Ohio State has the second shortest odds of winning the 2011 NCAA Men’s College Basketball Championship (4/1) after Duke (3/1) at SBG Global. 

Jordan Taylor scored 21 of his 27 points in the second half to rally number 13 Wisconsin from a 15-point deficit to beat Ohio State 71-67.

Wisconsin was sharp from beyond the arc, hitting 12 of 24 3-pointers to help seal the upset.

This had been the second-longest season-opening win streak in Buckeyes history. The 1960-61 team opened 27-0.

Wisconsin beat a team ranked No. 1 in the AP poll for the second time in school history. The Badgers also beat top-ranked Ohio State in 1962.

The Wisconsin Badgers would pay out $600 for every $10 betshould they win this year’s Championship.
