Johnny Davis, Wisconsin's leading scorer, was injured on a foul early in the second half, and the Badgers missed a chance to win the Big Ten title.

Davis was hurt when he was hit on the layup try. The Badgers said Davis was out with a lower body injury after he went to the locker room.

Davis averages 20.3 points and 8.3 boards. He scored 10 but was injured by McGowens.

Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said he was optimistic that Davis would be fine.

The officials were aware of my thoughts before it happened. Gard said that he would watch the replay and make the necessary phone calls.
