Game recap: Purdue basketball falls to Wisconsin in overtime of Big Ten semifinal

Purdue basketball meets Wisconsin in the Big Ten tournament semifinals Saturday afternoon.

The top-seeded and No. 3 ranked Boilermakers (29-3) held off Michigan State in Friday's quarterfinals, riding Zach Edey's dominance and getting through a Braden Smith injury scare. Edey is likely to become Purdue's career scoring leader Saturday.

No. 5 seed Wisconsin (21-12) has defeated Maryland and Northwestern the past two days, apparently over its late-season slump. The Badgers made 26-of-47 (55.3%) of their 3-pointers in those games. A.J. Storr is averaging 23 points and Steven Crowl 18 in the tournament.

The Boilermakers swept the Badgers in the regular season, 75-69 in Wisconsin on Feb. 3 and 78-70 in the regular-season finale.

Gregg Doyel: Michigan State tried to bully Purdue. But these Boilers won't be pushed around.
