VIDEO: Quick-thinking Sam Dekker beats buzzer

Wisconsin forward Sam Dekker came out of the gates fast and furious in Friday night's regional semifinal matchup against North Carolina.

With star big man Frank Kaminsky struggling with his shot - missing his first four attempts from the field and scoring only four points on 2-of-7 shooting by the half - Dekker carried the team's offensive load.

Dekker scored 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting by the break (the Badgers had just 31 as a team), and the last points of the bunch were the best.

Dekker grabbed an offensive board off a teammate's miss, tipping it back up, then grabbed his own offensive rebound and put that in just as time expired to cut the Badgers' halftime deficit in half.

Dekker's career-high in scoring is 22 points, so a 15-point first half puts him well on his way to achieving a new personal best.
