Wisconsin’s Chucky Hepburn drains shot from beyond halfcourt against Northwestern

Hepburn hit a shot from beyond halfcourt at the buzzer to give Wisconsin a 41-35 lead at the break. He had 10 points in the first half.

That capped a steller half for Hepburn, who channeled his inner Stephen Curry by draining another long one earlier. He entered the game shooting 27% from downtown.

That’s not a bad highlight reel.
