One Player Got Buckets, One Team Got The Win

#1 Wisconsin Badgers top #8 Oregon Ducks, 72-65

Joseph Young did his thing for Oregon, but maybe a little too much of his thing. Young scored 30 points, but did so on 12-for-25 shooting and just four free throws. Meanwhile, Wisconsin’s duo of Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker combined for 25 shots, making 12 of them for a combined 33 points. Two is better than one.

Oregon made a bit of a run late in the game, tying it up at 52-all with 5:56, but a 6-0 over the next two minutes or helped Wisconsin pull away a bit more and finish it off.

Nigel Hayes stepped up for the Badgers as Kaminsky was shadowed for much of the game. Hayes put together a 14-point, five-rebound, three-assist performance to give Wisconsin a nice three-man unit to carry the team.

Wisconsin moves on to its fourth Sweet 16 appearance in the last five years and meets up with 4-seed North Carolina on Thursday.

Oregon ends the year with a 26-10 record.

This feels a bit strange, right?

Wisconsin's going to end Oregon's season in the NCAA round of 32 one year to the day after it ended Oregon's season in the NCAA round of 32.
