Lamar Wilkerson hit two free throws with two seconds left in overtime, and Indiana outlasted Wisconsin for a 78-77 victory Saturday afternoon in Bloomington, Ind.
Wisconsin (16-7, 8-4 Big Ten) held a 77-74 lead when Nick Boyd split two free throws with 56 seconds left but committed a costly turnover with 15 seconds left. After struggling to get the ball up court, Boyd's right arm hit Connor Enright near midcourt for an offensive foul.
Following a timeout, Wilkerson drove into the paint and was met by John Blackwell, who committed the foul. Wilkerson then put Indiana back ahead by easily sinking the free throws, and the game ended when Braeden Carrington's 3-point heave from beyond halfcourt was long.
Wilkerson led the Hoosiers (16-8, 7-6) with 25 points, though he struggled from beyond the arc. He was 1-of-8 from 3 and 8-of-20 overall but made all eight free throws, including four in the final minute of regulation after Indiana lost a 13-point lead.
Sam Alexis added a season-high 19 points, seven rebounds, and five blocks, including a key block on Boyd with 2:44 left after Wisconsin took a two-point lead on a basket by Nolan Winter a little over a minute earlier.
Tucker DeVries contributed 16 and Enright chipped in 11 as Indiana shot 47.6 percent and survived missing 17 of 22 3-point tries in its fourth win in five games.
Winter led all scorers with a career-high 26 points and grabbed 12 rebounds. Boyd added 20, and Blackwell scored 16 of his 18 after halftime before fouling out.
Wisconsin shot 38% and made 33.3% (12-of-36) from 3-point range.
Indiana made seven straight shots and opened a 26-12 lead with 8:26 left on a reverse layup by Enright that followed consecutive 3s by DeVries. Wilkerson hit a jumper by the foul line for a 30-19 lead with 5:55 remaining and Indiana held a 36-30 lead at halftime.
Indiana stretched its lead to 52-39 on a triple from the top of the key by DeVries with 13:01 left and held a 64-56 lead on a 3-point play by Alexis with 6:07 left.
Wisconsin ripped off 10 straight for a 72-68 lead with 57 seconds left when Winter hit an open 3. Wilkerson hit four free throws and the game headed to overtime when Blackwell missed an off-balance jumper near the baseline just before the buzzer.
