WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — When Wisconsin backup guard Kamari McGee was ejected late in the first half against Purdue, the 16th-ranked Badgers didn't fret. They found a way to overcome his absence. Wisconsin kept its composure, used the ejection as motivation and rallied to beat No. 7 Purdue 94-84. Badgers coach Greg Gard said the ejection helped his players unite on the court and spurred a rally before halftime that eventually led to a second charge that put Wisconsin ahead for good midway through the second half.
