10:55 p.m. ET - Justise Winslow goes hard at Duje Dukan and draws a foul. He'll shoot two. Many in the crowd wanted the foul called on Winslow. Would have been his fourth.

10:54 p.m. ET - Frank Kaminsky with a great spin in the lane and he scores on the layup. Jahlil Okafor picks up his fourth personal foul. He'll take a seat. Kaminsky converts on the three-point play from the line.

10:48 p.m. ET - Duke freshman Grayson Allen knocks down both of his free throws to get to 14 points. He's the Blue Devils' entire offense right now. He's scored the team's last eight points.

10:45 p.m. ET - Grayson Allen again goes hard to the hole. Can't get the shot to fall but he gets fouled and will shoot two. Wisconsin leads 51-45 at the under-12 timeout.

10:45 p.m. ET - Wisconsin takes all that momentum right back. Nigel Hayes knocks down a triple to get the lead back to six.

10:42 p.m. ET - Justise Winslow and Jahlil Okafor both on the bench with three fouls apiece.

10:41 p.m. ET - A questionable foul call on Justise Winslow. That's his third. Looked like Nigel Hayes just elbowed him. Frank Kaminsky scores on the ensuing inbound. 48-39 Wisconsin. Timeout Duke.

10:39 p.m. ET - Wisconsin's Bronson Koenig feeling it tonight. He's 4-of-6 from the field for 10 points.

10:37 p.m. ET - Replay shows Dekker took an inadvertent elbow to the face from Jahlil Okafor under the basket. That's why he was slow to get up. Spent a lot of time talking with the trainers during the break but he's been cleared to go back in.

10:32 p.m. ET - Frank Kaminsky really goes hard at Jahlil Okafor. Took some time but eventually Kaminsky draws a foul call on Okafor. That's the third foul on the freshman. Didn't look like there was a whole lot there.

10:29 p.m. ET - Tough to ignore the fact that Okafor and Winslow both have two fouls. Both have played better defense than they did on those last baskets. That's likely what prompted the timeout from Coach Krzyzewski.

10:27 p.m. ET - Wisconsin's Sam Dekker bowls over Justise Winslow in the lane and scores. Badgers may have gotten away with one there. Timeout Duke.

10:26 p.m. ET - A big talking point at the half was that Frank Kaminsky, who attempted just five shots in the first half, needed to get more involved at the offensive end. He scores a quick basket in the paint, spinning around Jahlil Okafor, who has two fouls.

10:24 p.m. ET - The second half is underway in Indianapolis. Wisconsin starting with the basketball.

9:49 p.m. ET - Sam Dekker again flies through the lane, grabs an offensive board and puts it back. Wisconsin up to seven offensive rebounds.

9:46 p.m. ET - Duke's Justise Winslow often gives the statkeeper a lot to do. Five points, three blocks, and a steal thus far.

9:29 p.m. ET - Wisconsin's Frank Kaminsky blows by his man to the basket. Can't get the basket but gets fouled. He's super motivated right now.

9:27 p.m. ET - Wisconsin's Josh Gasser went back to the locker room with that eye issue. Sounds like some sort of contact lens problem. Duke's Quinn Cook also jammed one of his fingers and needed to have it popped back in.

9:26 p.m. ET - Wisconsin's Bo Ryan won't be happy with the pace from that first segment. Wisconsin shot 2-of-8 from the field.
