Wisconsin 74, Virginia Tech 72

BLACKSBURG, Va. — Trevon Hughes hit a leaning floater in the lane with 0.9 seconds left and Wisconsin survived a furious rally by Virginia Tech in the opener of the 10th Annual ACC-Big Ten Challenge.

The Badgers (6-1) led throughout until A.D. Vassallo’s sixth 3-pointer capped a 14-5 run that pulled the Hokies (4-3) even with 7 seconds to play. But with Cassell Coliseum erupting, Hughes hit an off-balance shot in the lane that silenced the crowd as it dropped.

Marcus Landry scored 18 points and Jon Leuer had 17 for the Badgers, who finished 12-for-18 from 3-point range. Hughes added 12 and Jason Bohannon 11, all in the second half.

Prince scored 19 points in the second half and Rutgers (3-2) avoided its longest skid in five years. The Scarlet Knights had lost consecutive games to No. 3 California and No. 4 Stanford and appeared in danger of making it three straight when they trailed by 15 late in the first half.
