The Herd came out strong, jumping to an early lead behind baskets from Sears and Davis. After the Bulls briefly pulled ahead, the Herd responded with a 9-0 run fueled by Butler Jr. and Nance.

The teams traded baskets until the Bulls tied the game 32-32 at the break.

Tilmon opened the second frame with a bucket to reclaim the forefront for the Herd. The teams exchanged leads throughout the quarter, with the Bulls edging ahead before Davis and Ryan combined for back-to-back scores to give Wisconsin a 50-46 upper hand with four minutes remaining. The half ended in a 53-53 deadlock, with Ryan leading the Herd with 11 points, followed by Davis and Sears with eight apiece.

Randall II sparked the Herd's fourth-quarter push with five straight points, and Alston added a basket to cut the deficit to 10. Despite trading baskets throughout the quarter, the Herd struggled to close the gap. With five minutes remaining, Davis and Butler Jr. narrowed the margin to seven with three consecutive scores.
