Indiana had Wisconsin on the ropes, but when the game was one the line, D’Mitrik Trice saved the Badgers from the upset.

Trice scored 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting, including two big baskets — one at the end of regulation and the other at the end of overtime –to keep the Badgers alive. In double overtime, Wisconsin was able to pull away thanks to back-to-back 3-point baskets from Tyler Wahl and Greg Gard’s squad got an 80-73 victory.

Three other Badgers hit double figures along with Trice. Nate Reuvers had 14 points and 6 rebounds while Wahl added 12 off the bench. Micah Potter scored 10 points in the win.

Trayce Jackson-Davis had a big day for Indiana, scoring 23 points and grabbing 12 rebounds for his fourth double-double of the season, but it wasn’t enough. Al Durham scored 15 points and Jerome Hunter pitched in 12 off the bench. Rob Phinisee was the other Hoosier in double figures, scoring 10.

With the victory, Wisconsin improved to 10-2 on the season and are now 4-1 in the B1G. Indiana drops to 7-5 overall and 2-3 in conference play.
