Wisconsin (15-17) got off to a slow start, trailing Ohio State (14-14) by 10 at halftime (32-22).  But the Badgers got hot and outscored the Buckeyes 51-31 in the second half.

In the fourth quarter, the Badgers shot 80 percent (4-5) from 3-point range and 85.7 percent (12-14) from the free-throw line, outscoring the Buckeyes 30-17.

The Badgers also committed just five turnovers for the entire game, advancing to the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals for the first time since 2013.

The Badgers continue Big Ten Tournament play against fourth-seeded Michigan in the quarterfinals on Friday.  Game time is set for 1:30 p.m.
