High Point guard Chase Johnston scored the game-winning basket with 11 seconds left on a breakaway layup after Wisconsin guard Nick Boyd missed a layup that would have put the Badgers up 84-81. High Point guard Rob Martin hauled in the rebound and fired down the lane to a streaking Johnston.
The game-winning layup was Johnston’s first two-point make all-season long.
