Wisconsin has been severely limited through the first portion of the second half with Johnny Davis still struggling to get rolling. He opened the game shooting 3-for-10 from the field with Brad Davison trying to power the Badgers so far.
If Wisconsin is hoping to reach the Sweet 16, Davis will need to come alive over the final 12 minutes or the Badgers may be heading home with an upset at the hands of 11-seed Iowa State.
