Badgers advance in NIT with nailbiter over Oregon

Behind 18 points by Max Klesmit, the Wisconsin Badgers men's team rallied to beat the Oregon Ducks 61-58 in the third round of the NIT tournament on the road. 

The Badgers held a 27-26 lead at halftime, only to see the Ducks go on a 10-0 run early in the second half to take a 43-37 lead.   Wisconsin was able to come up with key stops at the end of game and Chucky Hepburn hit a three-pointer with 55 seconds left to give the Badgers the lead for good.

Hepburn added 12 points while Steven Crowl chipped in nine points and ten rebounds.

Oregon (21-15) were led by Keeshawn Barthelemy who scored 15 points.

Wisconsin (20-14) will now travel to Las Vegas to play North Texas next Tuesday in the final four of the NIT.
