<p>The No. 16 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/wisconsin-badgers">Wisconsin Badgers</a> picked up a huge victory on Sunday by defeating the No. 9 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/ohio-st-buckeyes">Ohio St. Buckeyes</a> on the road, 63-60. It was an extremely hard-fought game for the entire 40 minutes, but a late run by Wisconsin during the final minute of play resulted in the victory.</p>
<p>At 1:03 left on the clock, <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124099/lenzelle-smith-jr">Lenzelle Smith Jr.</a> fouled <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52390/jordan-taylor">Jordan Taylor</a>, sending him to the foul line. The first one tied the game at 57, the second gave Wisconsin the 58-57 lead. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124094/jared-sullinger">Jared Sullinger</a> temporarily put Ohio State back in the lead on a layup, 59-58, but <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/52392/jared-berggren">Jared Berggren</a> hit a three with 29.9 on the clock.</p>
<p>Fifteen seconds later, Berggren made both attempts from the free throw line after <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124097/aaron-craft">Aaron Craft</a> foul. With the 63-59 lead, Wisconsin saw <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124095/deshaun-thomas">Deshaun Thomas</a> miss a three for the Buckeyes, which was followed by a missed jumped from Craft. This all happened within a second. Craft wound up going to the line for two free throws, making only one. But with only 0.4 left on the clock there wasn't much left to do.</p>
<p>Jordan Taylor led the Badgers with 19 points, which was one point better than Berggren's 18. Ryan Evans scored 10 points and pulled down 10 boards. Thomas had a game-high 23 points and seven rebounds.

<p>Ohio State looks to sweet Wisconsin.</p> <p>The No. 8 Ohio State Buckeyes (23-5, 11-4) host the No. 16 <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/teams/wisconsin-badgers">Wisconsin Badgers</a> (20-8, 9-6) on Sunday afternoon in a key Big Ten matchup.</p>
<p>After Michigan State beat Nebraska on Saturday night, Ohio State will attempt to keep pace in the race for the regular-season Big Ten title. The Buckeyes are currently one loss behind the Spartans so a win today will help set up what could be a fantastic finish to the conference schedule when Ohio State visits Michigan State for the last game of the season.</p>
<p>But the Buckeyes can't look ahead as Wisconsin always presents a challenge and should be desperate to find a way to win in Columbus on Sunday. The Badgers are 2-2 in their last four games including a heart-breaking 67-66 loss at Iowa on Thursday.</p>
<p>Ohio State is also 2-2 in their last four games with losses to Michigan State and at Michigan, but the Buckeyes were strong in putting away Illinois 83-67 in their last outing on Tuesday.</p>
<p>Ohio State won the first matchup between these teams in Madison earlier in the season. <a class="sbn-auto-link" href="http://www.sbnation.com/ncaa-basketball/players/124094/jared-sullinger">Jared Sullinger</a> had his way around the bucket in the 58-52 win, scoring 24 points and grabbing 10 rebounds.</p>
<p>The game is scheduled to tip off at 4:00 p.m. ET and will be televised on CBS.</p>
