No. 5 Wisconsin 69, Michigan 64 (OT):
Frank Kaminsky had 22 points and nine rebounds as the visiting Badgers escaped with a tight Big Ten win.

Sam Dekker added 15 points for Wisconsin (18-2, 6-1 Big Ten) while Bronson Koenig added 13 points - his fourth straight start in double figures. Nigel Hayes chipped in 10 points and five rebounds while the Badgers bench went scoreless.

Derrick Walton Jr. led Michigan (12-8, 5-3) with 17 points, scoring the Wolverines' last seven points in regulation to force overtime. Zak Irvin added 12 points while Max Bielfeldt and Muhammad-Ali Abdur-Rahkman each contributed nine off the bench.

Michigan used an 11-0 run to tie the game at 38-38 with 11 minutes left and after Dekker hit a pair of baskets to give Wisconsin a 48-41 lead with 7 1/2 minutes left, the Wolverines rallied again to force overtime on Walton's 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds left. Kaminsky opened the extra period with a three-point play, Josh Gasser hit a 3-pointer and the Badgers hit 6-of-8 free throws to seal it.

Wisconsin jumped to an early 9-2 lead but the Wolverines rallied for a 17-16 edge on Irvin's step-back jumper with just under nine minutes left. The Badgers finished the first half with a 9-0 run - including Dekker's dunk off a no-look pass from Koenig and Hayes' 3-pointer as time expired - for a 30-23 lead at the break.

GAME NOTEBOOK:
The game was paused in the final minute of the first half because Dekker cut his hand on his dunk and blood had to be cleaned off the court. Dekker played the second half with his shooting hand bandaged. ... Kaminsky became the second Wisconsin player with 1,000 points, 500 rebounds and 100 blocks, joining Mike Wilkinson. ... Michigan fell to 14-4 in overtime games under coach John Beilein.
