Wisconsin on a mini 5-0 run to cut the deficit in half. Michigan leads 30-25 with 3:49 left in the first half. Koenig with 10. Hayes with 8

It's actually to UW's credit that they are keeping this close. Michigan is shooting the lights out of the gym and Badgers are only down 5.

#Badgers with consecutive stops -- for just the third time this half -- and trail, 30-25, with 3:49 left.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 3/12/2017 7:40:59 PM
A tough bucket inside from Ethan Happ and a 3 from Bronson Koenig help the #Badgers pull back within 5.

MICH 30, WIS 25 | 3:49 1H

Michigan doing great job at getting Showalter to switch off Walton, then letting Walton work on someone else. Walton has 12 points. #Badgers

Withstand the punch,
then fight back.

One thought: Michigan at 63.2% shooting but hasn't been able to pull away from #Badgers -- yet.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 3/12/2017 7:43:14 PM
Nice move by Happ for the up-and-under. Badgers down three after a 7-0 run.

Not sure who's directing this broadcast for CBS, but assume they are a frustrated former film student.

by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 7:47:03 PM
That is two bad late sequences by #Badgers Koenig -- missed runner and a SC violation.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 3/12/2017 7:47:11 PM
Michigan with four empties in a row since Walton's trifecta of 3-pointers. Wolverines up 30-27 with 1:45 left.

Perusing some NBA mock drafts and not seeing any w/ Koenig in projected 1st Rd. If so, he'll be a 2nd rounder w/ a 10-year career.

by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 8:05:18 PM
#Badgers Happ started out 1-5. He is now 4-8.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 3/12/2017 8:05:40 PM

Not exactly the crisp second-half start the Badgers were looking for

by Benjamin Worgull via twitter 3/12/2017 8:12:17 PM
Not a great couple of series for Happ: failed to stay w/ Wagner on D, missed Trice for an open 3 in corner, couldn't handle pass from Hayes

by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 8:13:03 PM
#Badgers 0-2 shooting and 3 TOs this half.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 3/12/2017 8:13:19 PM
Five empties in a row for the #Badgers to start the second half. Three turnovers in that span.

by Jim Polzin via twitter 3/12/2017 8:13:19 PM
So good, @DerrickWalton10 .

Sloppy play from UW. Over four minutes into 2nd half with no points.

by Bucky's 5th Quarter via twitter 3/12/2017 8:14:15 PM
The UW bench called that last foul for D.J. Carstensen. Michigan up 39-32 with 14:53 left. Badgers' empty possession count at 6.

by Jim Polzin via twitter 3/12/2017 8:15:02 PM
#Badgers Gard has been all over the refs about pushing/hand-checking.

by Jeff Potrykus via twitter 3/12/2017 8:15:04 PM
Michigan opens 2nd half on 6-0 run to lead 39-32. Wisconsin has come up empty on its first six possessions, including three turnovers.
