LOS ANGELES—Wisconsin defeated Arizona for the 2014 West Regional title at the Honda Center in a hotly contested thriller that ended in controversy and overtime.

There was no controversy in Saturday’s rematch at Staples Center, no overtime and, trust us, Arizona doesn’t want to go to the replay monitor. This wasn’t a cliffhanger as much as it was a net burner. Top-seeded Wisconsin shot a sizzling 78.9 percent in the second half to earn an 85-78 win over second-seeded Arizona and claim the West Regional final. The Badgers (35-3) earned a second straight Final Four trip and moved from one rematch to another.
