Senior forward Brian Phelps led all scorers at the half with 13 points on an efficient 4-of-5 shooting from the floor and going 5-for-5 from the charity stripe. Junior guard Andy Bousono had nine points and three assists in support. Freshman guards Jack Hepburn and Kyle Middleton each had eight points at the intermission for the Eagles.
The second half would prove to be very similar as the first as Green Mountain was unable to make any headway into paring down the lead. The Badgers would lead by as many as 27 points before the final buzzer had the Badgers winning 88-63.
