The cheeseheads' doubleheader of agony began with Wisconsin failing to make a last-second shot and losing to the Syracuse Orangemen, 64-63, in the East Regional semifinals in Boston.
The night ended with Marquette shooting just 30.8% in a 68-58 loss to the Florida Gators in the West Regional semifinals in Phoenix.
