When Is Wisconsin Going to Play Again

Milwaukee Periodical Sentinel reporter JR Radcliffe will provide live updates, capturing the sights and sounds from inside Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, host of four NCAA Tournament first-round games Friday. The night culminates, of course, with the Wisconsin Badgers facing off against Colgate.

Terminal: Wisconsin 67, Colgate 60

A total battle, only Wisconsin has simply a trivial bit more left in the tank at the cease. Johnny Davis scored 25 points on 8 of 20 shooting, and Tyler Wahl finished with xv points, 9 rebounds and four assists, not to mention 2 steals.

Chucky Hepburn had 8 points, 6 rebounds and v assists.

Nelly Cummings had xx points for Colgate. p.g. Sun in the second round.

Colgate cold spell turned out to be its undoing

For a while in the second half, the Raiders couldn't miss. As we got to the end, they couldn't hit.

Colgate was on a run where information technology was 1 for its concluding 10 earlier a Nelly Cummings handbasket with iv.six seconds left, and the Badgers are going to survive an electric start-round game in Milwaukee. The Badgers have a 67-60 lead.

It'll be Badgers and Iowa State for a spot in the Sweet xvi on Sunday. It's a v:10 p.m. tip locally (yes, it's the first of two games)

Johnny Davis but won this game

Johnny Davis hits a 3-pointer and now has 23 points on viii of nineteen shooting. It's 65-56 with 57 seconds left, and the Badgers are going to surviev an absolute dogfight with Colgate.

Davis, who has eight rebounds and two steals, really turned it on in the second half.

Tyler Wahl only takes the brawl away; we're under 2 min

Johnny Davis merely fabricated two huge free throws to give UW a 62-56 lead after Woodward -- a 51% free throw shooter -- drained a pair for Colgate. Then Tyler Wahl just stole the ball abroad, meaning he's got four assists, eight rebounds and 2 steals to go with 14 points.

Johnny Davis commits a charge on the other end, and Colgate'southward Keegan Records loses hte ball out of bounds, just there will be a review to see for sure. The atomic number 82 is 62-56 with 1:47 to play.

Announcement not to throw debris onto the court

Fans were only scolded non to throw anything onto the courtroom, and that it could lead to a Wisconsin penalization. The crowd is very unhappy with a blocking phone call on Steven Crowl, looking instead for a travel on Jeff Woodward.

Colgate volition go to the line, down 58-52 with 3:33 to become, after the terminal media timeout of the evening.

Information technology'due south a x-0 run for UW, by the way, and Colgate has missed its final vii shots during a scoring drought that'south lasted vii:07.

Fiserv Forum is upward for grabs subsequently monster dunk

The Badgers starting five does some splendid work on defense and coaxes a shot clock violation out of Colgate, and Crowl has a iii-point attempt that looks correct on target only bounces out. Colgate misses badly on the ensuing opportunity, Tyler Wahl snatches the rebound and throws ahead ... for Davis.

Johnny Davis elevates for a two-hand jam that has given UW control of this basketball game game. The Badgers pb, 58-52, with 3:51 to become. This has been an incredible game, and Badgers fans are all of a sudden feeling very optimistic most information technology

Johnny Davis makes a badly needed play

Johnny Davis has been fighting it this night, but he just had a monster moment, grabbing a board Tyler Wahl helped to keep alive and scoring with harm. That put the Badgers upwardly 56-52 with less than half dozen minutes to become. UW has seized some tardily momentum here.

Big Steve with the big three

Wisconsin takes the lead with 8 minutes to keep a Steven Crowl 3-pointer, banked in for his biggest moment of the year perhaps. UW upwardly 53-52, and Crowl also brings in a rebound off Colgate's miss on the side by side possession (though information technology's an empty 1 for UW, and Colgate has it back).

There's vii:15 left in this game and the Badgers are upward a point.

Colgate looks like a team that can sense of taste the upset

Jake Woodward's starting time points of the game are an and-1, and Colgate congenital its lead dorsum to 4 at 52-48. The Raiders are fired upwards and looking like a team ready for the upset.

Chris Vogt scores inside to shave the lead in half with one quarter of this game to play. A traveling call deep in the shot clock gives UW a take chances to tie.

Colgate cannot be stopped from 3-point range

Ryan Moffatt hits from deep and that'south 10 3-pointers at present for Colgate. They're shooting 53 per centum from 3-point range, and Nelly Cummings is up to 16 points (though he did only pick up his third foul). Wisconsin'due south offense is in a much better identify to stay close but they're gonna need the Raiders to misssome of their shots going forrad.

Colgate's lead is 49-48 with 11:16 to play.

Tucker Richardson has his fifth iii-pointer merely Badgers counter

The Badgers looked to exist in some trouble, downward 44-39 with 13:40 to go after an Oliver Lynch-Daniels three-pointer. Tucker Richardson also has 5 triples, and the Raiders are hitting 9 of 18 overall. This is what they do.

But adept news. Johnny Davis hit a three-pointer, and after a stop, Brad Davison went to the line for two complimentary throws to re-necktie the game. With 13:01 to go, we're all the same knotted up.

Now nosotros're cooking every bit tempo picks upward considerably; we're still tied

Colgate re-grabbed the lead with ii iii-pointers from Tucker Richardson and Jack Ferguson, but Wahl answered with an and-one and Hepburn scored on a leak-out following a steal.

Then it was Moffat's turn to hitting a three for Colgate and tie the game at 37. This is more of what we expected from the Raiders, now 7 of 16 from deep. With 15:36 to become, the ii teams are knotted upward.

Tyler Wahl misses ii gimmes, but not the tertiary. Or fourth.

Tyler Wahl, usaully coin inside v anxiety, missed two easy ones on the aforementioned possession, killing some potential early momentum afterwards Brad Davison forced a 5-second call on colgate on the first possession of the second half.

Wahl, notwithstanding, took a perfect entry pass off an inbound from Hepburn and gave Wisconsin the 30-28 pb.

Wahl scored once again the next time down, and the Badgers take their healthiest atomic number 82 of hte night at 32-28. Davison is working the arena crowd, which rises to its feet.

Felt sloppy, only simply v combined turnovers

The teams combined for just five turnovers in the commencement one-half, and it felt like Wisconsin could get position anytime information technology wanted on the inside. Then why is the game tied, especially considering the Raiders didn't light information technology up from three-betoken range (only 4 of 12)?

Feels possible to me that this is one of those games where the favorite takes over in the secocnd one-half. Simply it wouldn't be a Wisconsin game if it wasn't close belatedly.

UW will go to halftime tied with Raiders

Nelly Cummings, who finished the half with 14 points, collection baseline and reversed in a layup just earlier fourth dimension expired to cease a frustrating half of Badgers basketball. Wisconsin and Colgate are tied at the break, 28-28.

After Davis's 8 points, Chucky Hepburn has 6 points and 6 rebounds. Tyler Wahl has 5 of those and three assists.

Davis has now struggled for three direct halves of basketball. Feels like they can't get forward without his return to Big Ten Player of the Year form.

Wisconsin has a tenuous pb in concluding seconds of first half

With 8 seconds left, Colgate volition inbound most the Wisconsin basket, looking to necktie the score or have the lead into the pause. The Raiders take gone cold, missing their last six shots and going scoreless in the past 4:43. UW has a pb, 28-26.

Davis is up to 8 points to lead the Badgers, but withal just three of 11 overall from the field. Wisconsin has also surrendered seven offensive rebounds.

Raiders upwardly to four 3-pointers, and Wisconsin still abaft

With 3:46 left in the commencement one-half, it'south even so a dogfight for the Badgers, down 26-23. Colgate has kept chucking from deep, and they've continued a couple times to move to iv for ten from beyond the arc.

Johnny Davis hasn't institute his shot yet; he'south 2 for 10. Chucky Hepburn leads Wisconsin with 6 points.

Colgate retakes the lead, 20-nineteen, with 5:55 left in the commencement one-half

Wisconsin seemed to have seized the momentum -- a become-ahead basket, a follow-upwards steal by Tyler Wahl and basket by Chucky Hepburn -- but Colgate wasn't about to get abroad that easily. Nelly Cummings is upwardly to 12 points for the Raiders, and the lead for the underdog is 20-19 with v:55 to go.

It is so, so loud in this building. Hard-hit assay, I realize.

The Badgers have their kickoff lead

Johnny Davis' first points of the dark were a corner 3-pointer to tie the score at fifteen, and Wisconsin is at present 1 for 4 from deep. Colgate, famously 1 of the best three-point shooting teams in the land, is but 1 of half dozen ... over again, it could be much worse.

Davis had a steal and breakaway opportunity, only Colgate was able to hustle back and knock it away. No matter, Tyler Wahl's turnaround high off the glass gave the Badgers a 17-15 edge with 7:47 left in the first one-half.

Hideous start for Badgers, but information technology could be worse

Wisconsin started 1 of nine before Ben Carlson finally willed a short jumper through the hoop, and Tyler Wahl's claw shot in the lane brought UW to within 9-six. That brought Fiserv to a fever pitch, and it only escalated when Chris Vogt and Brad Davison drove in for baskets to brand it a ane-point game.

The hat is off the handbasket for Bucky. Merely Colgate has had some answers, too.

The Raiders still atomic number 82, 13-10, with 10:46 left in the showtime half. Wisconsin hasn't forced a turnover and is all the same shooting just v of fourteen, but they've been able to level out with Johnny Davis off the floor.

Colgate has a 6-2 lead in the early going

Gotta credit the Colgate fans, they know the assignment is a tough one to out-scream the rest of this arena, and they are doing what they can.

The Raiders have a 6-2 lead at the starting time break, with UW shooting 1 for 7 overall. Johnny Davis, coming off a real struggle in the Big Ten Tournament, is 0 for 2.

When do you kickoff getting nervous? It's too early on at present with 15:46 left, but at what betoken does it dawn on you lot that it won't exist a one-sided game?

Nelly Cumings has iv p

Steven Crowl has the first bucket for the Badgers

Tyler Wahl had it in the paint, and that normally means some fancy footwork to get a shot at the rim, but instead he dished information technology to Steven Crowl across the lane for a basket that tied the game at 2-ii.

Both teams open the game shooting one of 5, though.

Let's exercise this: Wisconsin in the 2022 NCAA Tournament

Starting lineups take been introduced and, though Colgate fans are located directly backside me, this building is flush with cardinal and white and finally getting a chance to run across their Badgers, well-nigh an hour later on tip was initially approximated.

Colgate scores first, though, on a handbasket by leading scorer Nelly Cummings.

Tyrese Hunter wasn't recruited by Wisconsin

Tyrese Hunter, who might very well be a problem for Wisconsin tomorrow, set an ew career loftier with is 23 points, and he was asked if he'd been recruited by Wisconsin after the game. He replied he wasn't.

He also said he was looking at his family unit in the oversupply on some of his large 3-point makes, and was hoping to see his grandmother, who was unable to nourish.

"He was one of the most excited guys in (the locker room) before the game started," teammate Izaiah Brockington said. "He's been like that all year, no matter the implications of the game, no matter how large the game is, he's ready to become out there, ready to exist aggressive ... he doesn't let the moment become likewise big for him. He's always poised, always ready to make a large play when nosotros need information technology."

It's over! Cyclones win, 59-54

Racine native Tyrese Hunter finished with a game-high 23 points, and Iowa Land won at tense battle over LSU, 59-54. What a performance for the hometown kid in his showtime NCAA Tournament advent.

That leaves us with ane game, the 1 Badgers fans came to Milwaukee to see. The winner between Wisconsin and Colgate will become Iowa State.

Hunter doing all he can to keep ISU ahead

A massive, deep 3-arrow by Tyrese Hunter gives him twenty points, and the Cyclones have mangaed to stay ahead of LSU. It's 56-54 subsequently the Tigers' Mwani Wilkinson scored underneath on a slap-up feed from Xavier Pinson, with 47.8 seconds to play.

LSU is knocking on the door, within 1 indicate

With one:56 to become, Iowa Land leads, 51-50.

Darius Days just split a pair of free throws that could have tied the game, and Iowa Land nearly gave it away on the ensuing sequence. LSU's force per unit area has bothered Iowa State today, even though the Cyclones have a relatively accetable ten turnovers at this stage.

Badgers fans in the building merely praying for no overtime.

Tyrese Hunter lighting information technology up, putting Iowa State on the verge of control

Tyrese Hunter's 3-arrow with ix:40 to get spotted the Cyclones a 44-35 lead. And so, he tuckered another one only before the shot clock expired, a calm corner three that gave Iowa Land a 47-37 lead with vii:50 to go. The Racine native then worked the oversupply a little, although LSU came right dorsum down and scored with contact. The Tigers will have a free throw coming after a timeout, with the pb 47-39 and vii:41 to play.

Hunter is up to a game-high 17 points with three steals and three assists.

Eason draws fourth personal for LSU

Tari Eason, LSU'south leading scorer and best player, just picked up his foruth foul with eleven:05 to go. He's got 9 points for the Tigers.

Lead still 41-35 with the under-12 media timeout at eleven:05.

Caleb Grill sparks Cyclones to half dozen-point atomic number 82

Reserves have played a big role for Iowa State today. Caleb Grill hitting a 3-pointer after LSU had whittled the pb to 1 point, then picked up a loose ball and went the other way for a dunk, giving the Cyclones a 41-35 lead with eleven:20 to become.

Darius Days had two big steals for the Tigers, turning ane into a coast-ot-coast douse, but the Tigers couldn't have the lead.

Grill has viii points for Iowa State. Days has 13 for the Tigers, who've refused to let ISU stay comfy with its atomic number 82.

Kunc delivering on a number of fronts for Cyclones

Iowa State reserve forward Jaz Kunc has drawn at least three fouls today, including Eason'due south pivotal third (though Eason is still on the floor, as it turns out).

Kunc also hit a three-arrow that momentarily spotted ISU a 5-point lead; information technology'south dorsum downward to 31-28 with 15:eighteen to go. They're Kunc's just points, but he also has three rebounds, 2 blocks and two steals.

LSU hit with technical for six players on the courtroom

LSU's Efton Reid hitting two free throws after Iowa State's Robert Jones was assessed a flagrant, pulling LSU back inside a point, merely then the Tigers gave the favor right back. LSU was whistled for likewise many people on the courtroom after some substitution confusion.

Iowa State inbounded before the refs noticed the consequence, and Izaiah Brockington split the gratis throws to requite ISU a 28-26 lead.

Bad news for LSU: Leading scorer Tari Eason picked up his tertiary foul when he was striking with a charge, and so the Tigers are going to be a little shorthanded for the immediate hereafter.

There's sixteen:39 to go.

Halftime: Iowa State 24, LSU 19

Purdue had 46 points in the first one-half before today in this building. The two teams hither did not combine for that many at half.

Iowa Land did non score in the final 6:36 of the half, and then the Cyclones are lucky to be up at all, let solitary by v points. LSU airtight on a 7-0 run, although that'southward not exactly a resounding number over a vi:36 window. Both teams took 27 shots from the field: Iowa Country striking nine of theirs and LSU hit vii.

The Tigers were guilty of ten turnovers. Iowa State's Izaiah Brockington is the just actor in double figures, and he has 10 points.

LSU gets some energy back subsequently massive chasedown block

LSU is nevertheless downwards, 24-17, with 2:03 left, just they maybe got al little juice back when Eric Gaines pummeled a chasedown block off the backboard, robbing Izaiah Brockington of an easy breakaway bucket. The ball might have even gone out of premises off Iowa State, but LSU got a stop on the ensuing possession anyhow.

Iowa State has missed its last six shots but withal has the lead and the ball in the closing stretch of the first half.

Tyrese Hunter's third steal of the twenty-four hours gets ISU its biggest lead

Racine St. Catherine's alumnus Tyrese Hunter is up to three steals already, and his last swipe ultimately yields some other basket for Izaiah Brockington, who has 10 points for Iowa State, now up 21-12 on LSU with 7:22 left.

Brockington with a head shake for the closest defender, Efton Reid, on his mode downwardly the courtroom equally LSU interim coach Kevin Nickelberry called timeout.

LSU upwards to 7 turnovers afterward no-wait laissez passer goes amiss

Xavier Pinson tried to go fancy on an entry laissez passer with a no-look touch, and it sailed out of bounds for the seventh Tigers turnover of the night. LSU has been all out of sorts, shooting v of 16 from the field, ane of iii at the line and 1 of five from deep.

Iowa State leads, 19-12, at the 7:50 mark. Crime at a premium, and Brockington is only 3 of vii but he does lead all scorers with 8 points. LSU's Darius Days has 4 rebounds but just ane point.

All tied upwards at commencement media pause

Xavier Pinson just scored and got fouled, and so the LSU guard volition be shooting a free throw afterwards we return from the outset media timeout. All tied at 9-nine, with a Tyrese Hunter basket as the main highlight: A drive and flip behind him off the glass and good. The Racine kid scores his first NCAA points just north of where he grew up.

Badgers fans will remember Izaiah Brockington, who scores game's get-go points

Iowa Country's leading scorer is Izaiah Brockington, who spent some time at Penn State.

He's got the Cyclones' starting time ii buckets of the game, giving ISU a quick 4-2 atomic number 82 on LSU.

Round of applause for Racine's Tyrese Hunter during warmups

Like the final game, nosotros accept some Wisconsin connections in this contest, too.

Tyrese Hunter, who played at Racine St. Catherine's last year, was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Yr for Iowa State and is a big function of what the Cyclones exercise. He was given a warm round of applause by hte many, many Badgers fans in attendance during pregame intros.

Iowa State head jitney T.J. Otzelberger is a Milwaukee native who attended St. Thomas More High School (and hey, they simply played in their start ever WIAA country tournament in boys basketball yesterday). Top assistant J.R. Blount led Dominican in Whitefish Bay to two country titles.

Final: Texas 81, Virginia Tech 73

Some belatedly drama, including ii fouls on Brock Cunningham (one a deadball foul) that led to 4 Virginia Tech free throws, and so a turnover and 3-pointer by Hunter Cattoor, made this game shut down the stretch. But it was all the same all Longhorns.

Andrew Jones got a breakaway slam and finished with 21 points to lead the Horns, with four other players striking double figures.

The Longhorns are marching onward thanks to a huge second half. The Hokies, who got here with a surge through the ACC Conference Tournament, are heading home with a 23-13 tape.

The senior-laden Longhorns have a lot of options to try and slow downward Jaden Ivey, Zach Edey and Trevion Williams of Purdue, and if they make shots like they did today, they'll be a scary matchup for the Boilermakers.

Texas, which immune 59.6 points per game this year, comes into the tournament as the 3rd all-time scoring defense in the field.

Courtney Ramey's dagger makes it all but official

Afterward Texas bankrupt a Virginia Tech press and drained the shot clock, Courtney Ramey'due south three-pointer from the top of the key has pretty much sealed this off. Texas has a 73-59 lead with 1:32 to go.

Ramey's up to viii points, and three other Longhorns accept double figures. Leading scorer Timmy Allen has 14 and has fouled out, only he'll get to play again Sunday.

The Longhorns and Boilermakers volition meet here Sunday.

Gonna exist a quick turnaround in Fiserv Forum

Texas has a 68-55 lead with iii:32 to go, and I'grand non sure how they're going to empty out this venue in time for a (roughly) 6:20 p.m. start for LSU-Iowa State. Game won't start on time, I'd have to think, then Badgers fans tin expect that viii:50 tip to be later than advertised.

Texas is cruising its manner to a meeting with Purdue

The first half: Back and along the whole style. This half: all Texas. Christian Bishop had a breakaway dunk that felt like an early nail in the coffin, and Texas now leads Virginia Tech, 61-47, with 7:14 to go. Many fans have left the edifice (the Badgers fans, presumably), to ready themselves for the conflagration that is to come in the 2nd session.

Andrew Jones still leads the manner with 19 points. Later all he's been through, he's finally going to get a adventure to play in an NCAA Tournament victory.

With a win, the Longhorns would play Purdue in the second round Sunday.

Texas is gradually taking control of this game

Virginia Tech will get to shoot some free throws after the under-12 media timeout, but Texas has taken a bit of control in this game, upwardly 50-42 with 11:31 to become. That buzzer beater at the first half, I'm telling ya! Information technology's going to be seen as the tide-turner in this game.

Andrew Jones leads all scorers with 17 points, but Timmy Allen has 12 and Marcus Carr 10 now. Texas is 8 of 15 from 3-point range. Keve Aluma has been stuck at 10 points leading Va Tech for a while.

Marcus Carr's  traditional 3-pointer has Texas its biggest lead

Much closer to the arc this time, Marcus Carr just drained another 3-pointer to give Texas a 44-38 pb over Virginia Tech, the biggest lead of the game for the Longhorns. It's been nip and tuck this whole game, but maybe someone is finally seizing some control.

Carr has 8 points and the Longhorns accept now hit eight 3-pointers, including 5 by Andrew Jones and two past Carr.

Keve Aluma started the game on burn for Virginia Tech but has been tranquility since, though he does have ten points.

Recollect Paul Jesperson'southward cablegram beater?

Halfcourt buzzer beaters and Wisconsin ties have come together earlier. In 2016, Merrill native Paul Jesperson hit a half courtroom buzzer beater for Northern Iowa, sending Texas to an absolutely crushing starting time-round defeat in the NCAA Tournament.

This i didn't have the aforementioned stakes at the cease of the first half, but possibly it will help Texas intermission out of their bad-luck streak in the Big Trip the light fantastic toe.

Marcus Carr hits a half-court buzzer beater to finish the first one-half! Texas leads at break

A wild way to end the start half!

Marcus Carr unleashed a shot from shy of half court and banked it home, a 3-arrow at the buzzer that gave Texas a 34-32 lead over Virginia Tech at the break.

Middleton native Storm Irish potato's start points of the day came at the complimentary-throw line with 2.1 seconds left to requite his team the lead. He'd been hurrying upward court in a hurry and rew a second foul on Texas leading scorer Timmy Allen, just after Andrew Jones hit his 4th three-pointer of the half to give Texas the lead.

Carr managed to swing it back. That'southward a heck of a moment!

Virginia Tech has 2-point lead in final minute of starting time half

The Hokies telephone call timeout as Texas prepares to shoot the bonus with 55.vi seconds to go in the first half. Information technology's 29-27, Virginia Tech.

Lot of contributions from the Hokies bench (11 points).

The crowd is taking Virginia Tech's side

The crowd definitely seems to be on Virginia Tech'southward side every bit we go into the homestretch of the outset half — a couple 50/50 calls have gone Texas'southward way and elicited some boos. And I don't remember information technology's strictly Virginia Tech fans driving that bus.

It'south not a high-scoring affair, with Texas ahead, xx-18, and 6:30

Andrew Jones is on fire, just Texas and Virginia Tech are tied

Jones striking his third iii-pointer of the game to spot Texas a 4-point lead, merely Keve Aluma (8 points) and Virginia Tech are back to even at 18-18 with vii:48 to go.

Between the senior White potato and the freshman Sean Pedulla, I'd wager Virginia Tech as the youngestlooking point guards in the country.

Spud assists on game'south opening basket, Texas scoreless at start break

The ii teams combined to start the game 0 for 9, but finally with 17:15 on the kickoff-one-half clock, Keve Aluma of Virginia Tech banked home a jumper to give the Hokies the first points of the game. Tempest Spud, the Middleton native, garnered the assist.

Texas has since missed two more than shots and remain on the bagel, now at the first media timeout already. It's iv-0 after an Aluma dunk and 15:49 to play in the get-go half.

Lots of orangish for Game 2 of the Milwaukee slate

Orange is the color of the day with Texas taking on Virginia Tech. Hopefully this volition exist the first good game of the 24-hour interval ... anywhere in the land. Been a slow starting time to Friday for those who similar dram.

Virginia Tech point guard Tempest Murphy hails from Middleton; I wrote almost him yesterday. He gets a round of applause from the crowd during intros.

FINAL: Purdue 78, Yale 56

The third-seeded Boilermakers move on to the second round and will face Texas or Virginia Tech on Sunday. Yale finishes the twelvemonth 19-12.

Azar Beau scores 18 points to cap a decorated Yale career.

Jaden Ivey had 22 points for Purdue. Zach Edey had 16 with ix boards, and Trevion Williams finished with viii points and 10 rebounds. The usual suspects doing work.

Purdue putting the finishing touches on this win

Trevion Williams will head to the free-throw line after the last media timeout; he could withal become a double-double with his current numbers at 6 points and nine rebounds. And to think, he's the third most important player on the floor for Purdue.

This one is in the depository financial institution and earning interest. It's 74-48, with three:47 to go, and Purdue is well on its mode to booking a Sun date back in Milwaukee.

Purdue may have this one in the bag already

Sasha Stefanovic hit a 3-pointer that gave Purdue a 17-signal pb, and then after a steal, Jaden Ivey couldn't quite connect on what would have been a rim-rattling aisle-oop. But the Boilers got the offensive rebound, and so Stefanovic hit another.

It's a 59-39 lead for Purdue with 15:46 to become in the game and it feels very much over. Yale had gotten it downward to 11 early in this half, but Ivey (22 points) hit a deep jumper and driving layup to assist his team repossess control.

At-home before (or kinda during) the storm in Deer Commune

My colleague Ricardo Torres snapped a photo of the Deer District outside Fiserv Forum — non much doing, and why would there be? It'south unpleasant weather exterior, at that place are enough of bars nearby to business firm the scattered souls who are surely saving themselves for the Wisconsin game later on this evening.

I don't imagine it'll look like this come 8 p.chiliad.

HALFTIME: Purdue 46, Yale 33

The mismatch of Zach Edey vs. a small-scale Yale team has materialized, and Purdue's Jaden Ivey was doing it all early to stake Purdue to a solid pb at halftime. Ivey has xviii points and Edey 13 with seven rebounds.

Bulldogs are 3 of 11 from deep. They need more of those to fall to rally for an upset in the second half.

Azar Young man has thirteen points on half-dozen of xi shooting for Yale.

Purdue up 15 in final seconds of commencement half

Edey is a menace on both ends, and Yale is struggling to find an answer. The large man is up to xiii points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and then even without Ivey continuing on his torrid scoring pace, the Boilers accept just been steadily increasing their edge.

The lead is 46-31 with less than 30 seconds before halftime. It doesn't appear the upset madness of yesterday has carried over to the first batch of games today, here or anywhere else.

Ivey takes a shot to the face up, Purdue withal in control

Information technology's yet early on with 3:48 left in the kickoff half, merely it's starting to feel similar Yale needs to get a foothold soon if it wants to turn the upset. Purdue now leads, 37-26, and Jaden Ivey (sixteen points) is headed back to the free-throw line upon return to action.

Ivey took a shot to the confront and was on the ground on a recent Yale possession, though he was able to stay in the game. Simply he was in some pain, belongings his chin and mouth.

2 things you can appreciate on TV simply get a new level of appreciation by seeing in person: The speed with which Ivey moves with the basketball and the simplicity with which a 7-4 guy like Zach Edey tin can convert a rebound into a basket. He's got seven points.

Jaden Ivey about outscoring Yale himself

Yale briefly took a 16-xv lead, but Jaden Ivey and the Boilermakers chip back with a 10-0 run, and the Boilers now lead, 25-sixteen. Ivey has 15 of his squad'south points. Fiserv Forum looking reasonably full at this point with a couple section exceptions.

Yale throws all the size information technology has at Purdue

Much was made nearly the large size disparity between Purdue and a small-scale Yale team, but there is a half-dozen-10 player on Yale'south roster in Jake Lanford -- it's merely that he'due south merely played in iv games this year.

Just in an attempt to try and slow down 7-4 Zach Edey, certain enough, Lanford checks in. He fouled Edey on his offset possession and went back to the bench when Trevion Williams checked in, but that'southward our starting time intriguing development of the day.

Purdue leads, 11-8, with fifteen:33 to go. Jaden Ivey just let out a howl on an and-one, and he will exist heading to the line once more for ii shots later on the offset media timeout. He's already got eight points.

Under way in Game one: (iii) Purdue vs. (xiv) Yale

Zach Edey fights for a rebound to score the game's get-go points. Despite a major size advantage, Purdue'due south first two field goal attempts were from the outside. Yale tied it when the programme's all-fourth dimension leader in iii-point shots, Azar Swain, answered with a jumper to make information technology two-ii.

Jaden Ivey, one of the Big X'south all-time players, hits a 3-pointer to give Purdue the lead correct back.

Red all over Fiserv Forum seating bowl, as yous might expect
