Once the second half started, the rallying became the same as in the first half. Until the final seven minutes, the Badgers would go on a 17-0 run and put them in the lead for good. Although the Badgers never relinquished the lead again, AWC did fight back and trimmed the lead to just four points with three minutes to play. In those final minutes, the Badgers went on a 10-0 run to win the game by a score of 80-66.
