The game marked the first time Big Ten teams have met in a 1 vs. 2 game.

Alando Tucker, Wisconsin's candidate for conference player of the year, had given the Badgers the lead with just under a minute left when he scored inside off Jason Chappell's dump pass.

Chappell then blocked a shot by Ron Lewis before Wisconsin's Kammron Taylor was sent to the line in the bonus situation with 20.3 seconds left. Taylor's first attempt spun off the rim.

After a timeout, the Buckeyes (26-3, 14-1) passed around the perimeter before Conley, a freshman who has spent his career in the shadow of 7-foot high school and college teammate Greg Oden, then scissored through the lane and tossed up a soft shot that balanced on the rim before falling.

The Badgers (26-4, 12-3), who lost both games this week after becoming No. 1 for the first time ever, inbounded to Taylor who drove the length of the floor and tried an off-balance 15-footer at the buzzer. Lewis, a senior playing his final home game, blocked the shot.

Taylor looked to the officials, hoping to get a call. But there was no call and within seconds a capacity crowd flooded the court in celebration.

Ivan Harris led the Buckeyes with 13 points, with Oden and Conley each scoring 11.

Amid speculation he might turn pro after his freshman year, the crowd serenaded Oden with a chant of ''One More Year!'' as the Buckeyes assembled on the floor to accept the conference championship trophy.
