- Washington advanced to this third-round matchup after defeating the 13th-seeded Southern California Trojans 83-79 in overtime on Wednesday, rallying from a 14-point second-half deficit to secure the program's first Big Ten Tournament victory.
- In their previous meeting on Feb. 28 in Seattle, Wisconsin defeated Washington 90-73, with reserve Braeden Carrington scoring a career-high 32 points and the Badgers shooting 17-for-38 from three-point range, a school road record.
