 SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - The Wisconsin Badgers almost waited too long to get their offense swinging. Alando Tucker helped Wisconsin bounce back from a horrible first half, scoring eight straight points during a 13-0 run that gave the Badgers a 65-56 victory over North Carolina State on Friday night and a spot in the NCAA tournament's round of eight.
Sixth-seeded Wisconsin (25-8) will play the winner of the late game between North Carolina and Villanova for a berth in the Final Four.
Tucker scored 22 points and Mike Wilkinson scored 17, getting his final two on a breakaway dunk with 20 seconds left that got the rest of the Badgers to leap for joy on the court.
