The Badgers started the game with a flurry of threes, beginning with a Steven Crowl splash that set the tone for the remainder of the first half.

Additionally, Wisconsin made the pace a clear emphasis, as their first four drives averaged just six seconds long before a shot attempt or turnover, which should become the new norm for an offense that involves more guard play.
