Badgers settle a score against Maryland (AUDIO)

January 28, 2021 By Bill Scott

After falling to Maryland 70-64 on December 28, allowing the Terrapins to score 38 points in the paint, the 14th ranked Wisconsin Badgers turned the tables last night, pulling out a 61-55 win in College Park.

Everything went well for the Badgers in the first half, has they jumped out to an 18-point halftime lead.

Wisconsin knew Maryland would deliver a punch in the second half and the Terrapins did.  But the Badgers (13-4, 7-3 Big Ten) took that punch and survived, handing Maryland (9-8, 3-7) it’s seventh conference loss this season.

Micah Potter finished with season highs in points with 23 and rebounds with 12 to lead the Badgers.  Senior guard D’Mitrik Trice added 13 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Maryland opened the second half with an 8-0 run, then added another nine straight points to cut Wisconsin’s 18-point lead to just three.  That’s when Brad Davison drilled a three-pointer and Potter helped extend the lead again to put the Badgers in control.  But it wasn’t pretty.  Wisconsin failed to score a field goal in the final seven-plus minutes and still held off the Terrapins.

Aaron Wiggins had 19 points and Donta Scott added 13 for Maryland, which was seeking its second straight win over a ranked opponent after beating Minnesota last Saturday.

Potter hit 8 of 12 from the field and went 4 of 6 from three-point distance, after being held to four points and five rebounds in the Dec. 28th matchup in Madison.

The Badgers will now play back-to-back games against Penn State, on the road Saturday and back in Madison on Tuesday.
