The Wisconsin basketball team walked away with a narrow win over Purdue, but not before the action turned out rather tense. Wisconsin center Steven Crowl and Purdue big man Zach Edey went to each other multiple times throughout the game before Crowl eventually fouled out.

Crowl did not go down without a fight, and it sure seems like the center will enjoy not having to play against Edey again. Wisconsin Basketball…
