Wisconsin fans celebrate upset of top-seeded Villanova
The hope for hundreds of fans at Major Goolsby's downtown Milwaukee on Saturday: A Wisconsin win and trip to the Sweet 16. To get that done, the Badgers had to beat the top-seed in the NCAA Tournament, Villanova. Dave Owens is a big Wisconsin fan, and allowed WISN 12 News to capture his emotions during the second half of Saturday's game. With the Badgers up four, "I feel good," said Owens. "Vitto Brown showed up to play in the first half. Hopefully, he can hit some three's in the second half too." Eventually, Wisconsin trailed by 7. "I'm nervous," Owens said. Basket after basket, the Badgers took the lead and didn't give it back, winning 65-62. Owens enjoyed the celebration with everyone else.
