INDIANAPOLIS — March Madness has officially started for the Iowa men’s basketball team.

The third-seeded Hawkeyes (20-7 overall, 14-6 Big Ten) open postseason play against sixth-seed Wisconsin (17-11, 11-10) in the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Men’s Basketball Tournament Friday night at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Follow along here for updates and analysis throughout the game, which will air on the Big Ten Network.

Pregame — Iowa guard Joe Wieskamp will play Friday against Wisconsin, the team announced.

Wieskamp sustained an ankle injury in a previous contest with the Badgers at Carver-Hawkeye Arena on March 7. In that game, the Muscatine, Iowa, native exited the contest with 8:16 remaining in the first half and did not return.

While Wieskamp did not return to the court, he did return to Iowa’s bench in the second half sporting a walking boot. Wieskamp averaged 15 points (while shooting 48.9 percent from 3-point territory) and 6.6 rebounds per game during the regular season and was named second-team all-Big Ten on Tuesday.

14:53 1H — Iowa leads Wisconsin, 9-7, at the first media timeout.

Center Luka Garza leads all scorers with five points (2-of-4 shooting from the field). Wieskamp hit his first shot from the floor, a base-line jump shot, which he followed up with a fist pump.

Wisconsin is only 3-of-10 from the field shooting, but is keeping it close. There have been three ties and one lead change early on.

11:56 1H — Iowa leads Wisconsin, 16-11.

The Hawkeyes have hit four of their last five shots from the field and are shooting 64 percent midway through the first half. The Badgers, on the other hand, are only hitting 33 percent of their shots. Garza leads all scorers with 10 points.

Wisconsin is outscoring Iowa 7-0 in second-chance points and Iowa is still seeking its first 3-pointer (0-for-3).

7:51 1H — Iowa leads Wisconsin, 20-19.

Wisconsin used an 8-0 run, which included back-to-back 3-pointers from Brad Davison, to take a 19-18 lead over Iowa. But a basket by Garza has Iowa back in front (for now).

3:12 1H — Wisconsin leads Iowa, 30-26.

The Hawkeyes are still searching for their first 3-pointer of the night. The team is 0-of-8 from deep so far this half. The Badgers are heating up offensively, hitting eight of their last 11 shots from the field.

Halftime — Wisconsin leads Iowa, 32-26.

13:57 2H — Wisconsin leads Iowa, 36-35.

Iowa finally hit a 3-pointer.

Point guard Jordan Bohannon pump faked and dribbled his way open on the wing and then hit a wide-open 3-pointer. The Hawkeyes are 1-of-12 from 3-point range. Iowa is outscoring Wisconsin 9-4 so far in the second half.

Wisconsin is still without a free-throw attempt.

11:33 2H — Wisconsin leads, 43-42.

Keegan Murray blocked his third shot of the night and Joe Toussaint forced a tie-up right before the break so it will be Iowa ball after this media timeout. The Hawkeyes have hit five of their last seven shot from the field.

Iowa has seven assists and no turnovers so far in the second half.

8:03 2H — Iowa leads, 50-48.

The Hawkeyes have the lead back. After a back-and-forth couple of minutes, a Joe Toussaint jumper with 8:29 to play gives Iowa a two-point advantage.

Iowa is outscoring Wisconsin 24-16 in the second half and has yet to commit a second-half turnover.

3:26 — Iowa leads, 52-50.

The Hawkeyes are holding onto their lead but both teams are cold from the floor right now.

Iowa has missed its last four field goal attempts, while Wisconsin has missed its last six.

Final — Iowa defeats Wisconsin, 62-57.
