Bronson Koenig thought a game like this was exactly what No. 6 Wisconsin needed.

The Big Ten Tournament championship seemed to be slipping away and, with it, a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs. Then, in a flash, the Badgers put a stop to that.

Nigel Hayes scored 25 points, Frank Kaminsky added 19 and Wisconsin outscored Michigan State 11-0 in overtime Sunday for an 80-69 victory in the Big Ten Tournament championship game.

Koenig scored 18 points, and the Badgers (31-3) rallied from 11 points down in the second half.
