Finals-bound: Gophers eliminate Wisconsin, on cusp of improbable championship

Two key three-pointers from Gabe Kalscheur and clutch free throws from Daniel Oturu pushed the Gophers to the brink of an improbable conference championship run as they beat Wisconsin 64-60 in the Big Ten Tournament semifinals, notching their fourth win in four days and putting them on the brink of the NCAA Tournament.

Trailing 57-54 with just 2:55 remaining in the game Kalscheur hit back-to-back threes and forced a crucial Brad Davison turnover as the Gophers mounted a late second half comeback to seal the victory and take the season series over the Badgers.
