With Frank Kaminsky sitting out with concussion symptoms, and with Traevon Jackson missing key time late in the game, the Badgers were bitten by the upset bug Sunday, losing 67-62 at Rutgers.
The loss is just Wisconsin's second of the season.
Myles Mack scored 21 points, 19 of them in the second half, and Kadeem Jack added 20 for Rutgers (10-7, 2-2 Big Ten), who outscored Wisconsin 44-27 in the second half. The Badgers missed Kaminsky's inside presence, shooting just 43% as a team and allowing Rutgers to shoot 54%.
Nigel Hayes and Sam Dekker scored 15 a piece for Wisconsin (15-2, 3-1 Big Ten).
