Building on this momentum, they extended their lead by halftime with an additional 22 points to Wisconsin's 11. Despite a spirited effort from the Badgers in the third quarter where they racked up 25 points, it was not enough to close down Maryland's lead which stood at 13 points for that period.
The home team's offensive efforts were matched by their defensive prowess as they tallied nine steals and two blocks.

The Wisconsin Badgers fought valiantly despite trailing for most of the game.
