In the victory, the First-Team All-Big Ten honoree and Naismith Player of the Year semifinalist claimed the No. 3 spot on Wisconsin's all-time single-season scoring list behind program legends Frank Kaminsky (2014-15) and Alando Tucker (2006-07).

Wisconsin ended Michigan State's Big Ten Tournament a little early Saturday, beating the No. 1 seed 77-74 in a tight semifinal matchup. The Badgers came through with some clutch defense in the final seconds to hold the three-point lead and keep the Spartans from tying things up.
