Announcers, calling the game, thought Melo Trimble had waited too long to start attacking Wisconsin's defense.
With the game tied at 60 and time wounding down in regulation, the Maryland sophomore took a series of dribbles before stepping into a near 30-footer from the top of the key in the face of the Badgers' Zak Showalter to lift his team to a key Big Ten victory Saturday.
