LOS ANGELES, CA – Wisconsin started the second half shooting the lights out and never stopped, returning to the Final Four with an 85-78 victory against the Arizona Wildcats. The Badgers made 10 of their 12 three-pointers after the break, slowly building a lead that Arizona was unable to catch.
Sam Dekker made 5 of 6 from behind the arc on his way to 27 points for the Badgers, while Big Ten Player of the Year Frank Kaminsky overcame some early foul trouble to lead all scorers with 29.
Brandon Ashley and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson both scored 17 to lead Arizona in defeat.
Wisconsin advances to face the winner of Kentucky-Notre Dame next Saturday in Indianapolis for a spot in the National Championship.
Wayne Larrivee and Donny Marshall called the action on Westwood One Sports.
