In an impressive display at Williams Arena, the Wisconsin Badgers showcased their dominance over the Minnesota Golden Gophers. The game began with both teams setting an aggressive pace, but it was the Badgers who managed to edge out with a three-point lead by scoring 15 to 12 in the first quarter. The second quarter saw them amplify their efforts and widen that gap significantly by adding another 24 points to their tally while holding the Golden Gophers to just 12.

The third quarter witnessed a slight shift in momentum as Minnesota rallied to put up 19 points against Wisconsin's 13; however, this resurgence was short-lived. In response, Wisconsin recalibrated and matched their opponent's intensity in the fourth quarter by once again scoring another solid set of points totaling up to fifteen.
