Freshman Chucky Hepburn hit a 3-pointer with 1.5 seconds left to give No. 10 Wisconsin a 70–67 victory over No. 8 Purdue on Tuesday in Madison, Wis., allowing the Badgers to clinch at least a share of the Big Ten regular-season title.

Wisconsin (24–5, 15–4 Big Ten), which swept the two-game series against Purdue for the first time since 2013–14, finishes Sunday at home against last-place Nebraska. Purdue (24–6, 13–6), which also lost to Michigan State 68–65 on Saturday on another late 3-pointer, fell to third, a half-game behind Illinois (20–8, 13–5).
