The Badgers held a 15-point advantage with less than eight minutes remaining, but they could not hold onto it as Oregon rallied back to earn an overtime victory.

This is the first matchup between Wisconsin and Washington since 1965. The Badgers, having lost the last three of a four-game long series against the Huskies all-time, fell 81-67 on Dec. 17, 1965. Wisconsin was coached by John Erickson and finished 11-13 and 6-8 in Big Ten play.
