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. A lengthy replay review was required to decide possession for the final shot. What was different about 2015: everything. 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. Wisconsin will play Kentucky next Saturday in Indianapolis, hoping to avenge last year’s one-point loss in the national semifinals. If only the Badgers could bring Saturday’s second-half shooting numbers against Arizona — 15 for 19. “You don’t shoot 79 percent in a half every day,” Wisconsin Coach Bo Ryan said.Read more on NewsOK.com
