Wisconsin went in front 67-45 with 13:10 left on consecutive 3-pointers by Blackwell and Boyd.

Byers shot 13-for-16 from the free-throw line while Eian Elmer added 15 points for Miami (25-0, 12-0 Mid-American), which took the lead for good in the game's first five minutes and never trailed the rest of the way.
