Wisconsin finishes regular season with a win
MINNEAPOLIS — Steven Crowl and Tyler Wahl each scored 21 points, Chucky Hepburn scored all his 12 points in the second half, including the go-ahead 3-pointer in the final minute, and Wisconsin closed out its regular season with a 71-67 win at Minnesota on Sunday night.
Wahl was 8-of-11 shooting and Crowl made 9 of 13 from the field. Connor Essegian added 11 points for the Badgers (17-13, 9-11 Big Ten).
Ta'lon Cooper stole the ball, went the other way for layup and hit the and-1 free throw for Minnesota to make it 62-all with 2:30 to play. Hepburn, near the top of the key, stepped around a screen from Wahl and drilled a contested step-back 3-pointer to give the Badgers the lead for good with 47 seconds left.
Max Klesmit and Wahl combined to go 4 of 4 from the free-throw line in the closing seconds to seal the win for Wisconsin.
Up next, Wisconsin will be the No. 12 seed in the Big Ten tournament and face 13th-seeded Ohio State in the first round Wednesday night at 5:30 p.m. CT.
