Aday Mara has another strong game, Dylan Andrews hits another clutch shot in the Pacific Northwest and the Bruins climb back above .500 in Big Ten play with a 65-60 win.

John Tonje finished with 24 points and John Blackwell added 23 for the Badgers, who cut an eight-point deficit to one during the final 4 minutes.
