No. 6 Wisconsin avoided what would have been a nasty upset to Michigan, bouncing back in overtime after giving away an 11-point second-half lead to escape Ann Arbor with a 69-64 victory.

With the win, the Badgers have claimed 14 of their last 16 meetings with the Wolverines.

Wisconsin forward Frank Kaminsky led all players with 22 points and nine rebounds, knocking down eight of 13 shots from the field.

Guard Derrick Walton Jr. led Michigan in scoring with 17 points, adding five rebounds, two assists, and a steal.

Wisconsin will now be off for a week before returning next Saturday with a game at Iowa, while Michigan will be back in action Tuesday when it hosts Nebraska.
