Tyler Wahl had 21 points and seven rebounds and Steven Crowl added 12 points with seven assists as the Wisconsin Badgers took down the host Iowa Hawkeyes in overtime by a final of 78-75.

Connor Essegian added 14 points for Wisconsin (8-2, 2-0 Big Ten) and Chucky Hepburn scored 11. The McCaffery brothers led the charge for Iowa (7-3, 0-1), as Patrick scored 24 with Connor scoring 17 to go along with a team-high 10 rebounds.

Iowa went on an 8-0 run in just 45 seconds to tie the game at 60 with 9.4 seconds to play in regulation, including a layup plus a steal while in the full-court press which led to a game-tying 3-pointer from Patrick McCaffery. Chucky Hepburn’s jumper on the other end was no good, sending the game to overtime.

Wahl hit a 3-pointer to tie the game with 1:59 left in overtime, but Patrick McCaffery matched it with a layup through a foul on the other end, giving Iowa a three-point lead at the line.

Wisconsin made five shots in a row as a team in the overtime period before Hepburn stole the ball away from Patrick McCaffery with less than a minute to go. After Wisconsin went up by three, McCaffery got an open look from deep to tie the game but came up just short.

Wisconsin did not make a free throw in the game until the 4:13 mark of the second half. The free throw came after Iowa Head Coach Fran McCaffery picked up a technical foul and had to be physically restrained from the referees by his assistant coaches following a foul call on Tony Perkins.

It was a slow start to this one for both sides as Iowa failed to score a point for the first 5:22 of the game. The game was tied at 27 going into the halftime break as the Badgers went just 1-for-11 from beyond the arc and Iowa shot just 37% from the field in the half.

Wisconsin has won three games in a row, while their last seven contests have been decided by five points or less.
