MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin raised the banner to commemorate a second straight Final Four appearance before turning its attention to a new season.

That rousing pregame ceremony turned out to be the highlight of a very disappointing night for the 17th-ranked Badgers.

Garrett Covington hit two fouls shots with 10.2 seconds left, and Western Illinois shocked Wisconsin with a 69-67 win on Friday.

“But now you guys know why I say all the things I was saying earlier about `Some days we’ve got a long way to go,”’ coach Bo Ryan said. “I think you see now.”

But it was still hard to fathom even after the Leathernecks celebrated as if they had just won an NCAA Tournament game.

Western Illinois went 8-20 last year. J.C. Fuller had 20 points to lead a team picked to finish last in the Summit League against a Big Ten power coming off back-to-back Final Four appearances.

The Leathernecks led by as many as eight midway through the second half before Wisconsin mounted a furious rally to tie it at 67 with 2 minutes left on Vitto Brown’s layup.
