Final Scoring Summary
Recap
Wisconsin 60, Vanderbilt 57: Jordan Taylor led the way with 14 points and hit some big shots down the stretch as the Badgers advanced to the Sweet 16.
No. 4 seed Wisconsin (26-9) will take on top-seeded Syracuse in the East Regional semifinals Thursday in Boston.
Jared Berggren added 12 points and six rebounds, and Ryan Evans and Ben Brust scored 11 apiece for Wisconsin (26-9), which will be making its fifth trip to the Sweet 16 under coach Bo Ryan. The Badgers lost in the regional semifinal last season to Butler.
Vanderbilt (25-11) led only twice in the contest, by one point after the first basket of the second half and again 57-56 when Festus Ezeli capped a 13-3 run with a layup.
The Badgers broke the drought from beyond the arc, with Taylor burying a deep 3-pointer at the 1:45 mark to go back up 59-57.
The Commodores had three chances to tie or take the lead, but John Jenkins missed a pair of 3-point attempts and Ezeli botched the front end of a one-and-one.
Evans split a pair of free throws with 2.1 seconds left and Berggren knocked away the final chance.
Ezeli collected 14 points and 11 rebounds in his final college game.

The Commodores have not reached a regional semifinal since 2007.
