* FINAL in 2 OT: IU defeats No. 19 Wisconsin 75-73.

A lot happened, but it all ended with Romeo Langford making a layup with 0.7 seconds to go in the final OT period.

It's the second major home victory for IU this season, after last November's win against Marquette University.


* END OF OVERTIME: IU and Wisconsin tied at 68.

A big 3-pointer from D'Mitrik Trice tied the game with a little less than 30 seconds to go for the Badgers, and the shot was made through a heap of players as well.

IU's final possession resulting in an out-of-bounds set with 2.2 seconds to go, and Al Durham wasn't even close on a 3-point shot.

* OVERTIME: IU and Wisconsin tied at 62.

Game ended with IU having the ball and 5.3 seconds to get a shot off, the shot was a missed 3-pointer by Rob Phinisee.



* Under-4 timeout (3:51 to go in the game) IU leads Wisconsin 57-56.

Been a tight game for the past few minutes, and it looks like it will be another down to the wire contest for IU.

Juwan Morgan was hit in the face by Ethan Happ, who was given a flagrant 1 foul, but Morgan is back in the game for IU.

Late-game execution has been the reason for so many IU losses during this 1-12 stretch of games, will it be different tonight?

* Under-8 timeout (7:39 to go in the game) Wisconsin leads IU 51-50.

IU's lead was 13 points with 12:40 to go, took exactly 5:01 of game time for a 14-point swing to occur.

Three 3-pointers during the last stretch of play for Wisconsin helped bridge the gap, but Happ now has 17 points and despite the best efforts of Thompson, he's still a strong presence near the rim.

Some not great offensive possessions by IU as well. Hoosiers need to dig deep here to stay in a competitive game after so many close losses.

* Under-12 timeout (12:40 to go in the game) IU leads Wisconsin 49-42.

IU has lost just a bit of momentum as Wisconsin goes on a 8-2 run entering the media timeout.

Badgers have improved a bit to 3-14 from 3-point range, but it's still Happ and Iverson doing the heavy lifting for the visitors on offense.

Durham has 11 for IU, and Smith has had a very nice game for the Hoosiers with 10 points, largely earning back the minutes he lost to De'Ron Davis after Davis got sick before the game. 

* Under-16 timeout (15:48 to go in the game) IU leads Wisconsin 41-33.

IU has come out with its hair on fire to start the second half, playing very solid defense and finding Juwan Morgan in the low post for buckets.

A transition alley-oop between Rob Phinisee and Justin Smith punctuated the run and got the crowd on its feet.

* HALFTIME: IU leads Wisconsin 33-29.

Al Durham leads IU at halftime with nine points, all via 3-pointers. In total, IU is doing a pretty good job shooting from deep, with a 6-14 showing as a team from downtown.

Iverson and Happ have combined for 22 of Wisconsin's points. Race Thompson and Juwan Morgan have significantly improved their defensive presence against Happ as the night has gone on.

IU with a 7-0 advantage in fastbreak points, but Wisconsin has a 22-12 points in the paint advantage.

* Under-4 timeout (3:32 left to go in the half) Wisconsin and IU are tied 25-25.

Race Thompson continues to provide solid defensive work on Ethan Happ, but Happ and Khalil Iverson both have 10 points for the Badgers.

Romeo Langford has seven points for IU, Juwan Morgan meanwhile has a remarkable nine rebounds.

* Under-8 timeout (7:07 left to go in the half) Wisconsin leads IU 19-18.

Happ still leads the Badgers with eight points, while a pair of 3-pointers made by Al Durham give him the title of leading scorer for IU with six points.

Race Thompson with a spell of some really quality minutes for the Hoosiers, which is important since both De'Ron Davis and Evan Fitzner were pretty bad during their brief stretches of playing time so far.

Davis likely struggling with some kind of illness though, while Fitzner hasn't been able to replicate his good play from the Iowa game so far.

* TIMEOUT (12:21 left to go in the half) IU and Wisconsin are tied at 12.

Davis is in the game for IU now, checking in with Devonte Green.

Ethan Happ has had a field day so far against Juwan Morgan, scoring eight of Wisconsin's points so far.

Hoosier need to provide a double team or some other kind of help defense against the redshirt senior forward. 

* Under-16 timeout (15:53 left to go in the half) IU leads Wisconsin 7-6.

A nice start to the game from Rob Phinisee, who has two points and a nice assist to Justin Smith to start.

De'Ron Davis was supposed to be part of the IU starting lineup, but he got sick after pregame warmups and had to go back to IU's locker room.

He has rejoined the team on the bench.

* There's been a change to the IU starting lineup.



* Here are the starting lineups for both teams.



* Wisconsin is 19-8 overall this season and 11-5 in conference games, while IU is now below .500 with a record of 13-14 overall and 4-12 in conference play. IU has 12 of its last 13 games.
