One win down, four to go in Chicago.
Ohio State extended its Big Ten Tournament run to a second day with a 65-57 win over 12th-seeded Wisconsin in Wednesday’s first-round matchup at the United Center. The 13th-seeded Buckeyes avenged their regular-season loss to the Badgers on Feb. 2 and may have ended their opponent’s NCAA Tournament hopes in the process.
| Team | 1 | 2 | FINAL |

| #12 WISCONSIN | 18 | 39 | 57 |
It was all scarlet and gray early, but the Badgers made Ohio State work for all 40 minutes in a game that went down to the wire.
