Center Frank Kaminsky paced Wisconsin with 26 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and three bocks. Forward Sam Dekker added 23 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Jackson finished with 17 points, guard Ben Brust had 14 and guard George Marshall added 13.

Over the five-game exhibition tour, Dekker led Wisconsin in scoring three times. Dekker averaged 19.4 points per game, followed by Kaminsky (15.0), Jackson (11.4), Brust (11.4) and Marshall (8.6).
