The Wisconsin Badgers (4-1) started strong both offensively and defensively, then held on to beat the Rhode Island Rams 73-62 at the Kohl Center on Wednesday.

The Badgers built a 17-point lead at halftime (33-16) with strong defensive work and some hot early shooting from guard Brad Davison.  Davison hit his first three 3-point attempts and scored 17 of his 23 points in the first half.  The Badger guard was also perfect at the free throw line, hitting all 12 of his attempts.

D’Mitrik Trice led the Badgers defensively, holding Rams guard Fatts Russell to eight points.  Russell entered the game averaging 17.6 points a game but made just 3 of  his 14 field goal attempts.

Nate Reuvers recorded three blocks to break Ethan Happ’s program record of 154.  Reuvers now had 157, but he also spent time on the bench while dealing with foul trouble.  He had just 5 points on 2 of 8 shooting from the field. [Read more…]

The Badgers continued to get good balance from their deep team.  Micah Potter had 14 points and eight rebounds to lead the way.  Nate Reuvers, who played just 19 minutes because of foul trouble, still chipped in with 13 points, four rebounds and two blocked shots.

Badgers climb into tie for the Big Ten lead

March 5, 2020 By Bill Scott

The 24th ranked Wisconsin Badgers have come a long way, moving into a tie for the Big Ten lead with Maryland and Michigan State with one game left to play in the regular season.  The Badgers (20-10, 13-6 Big Ten) knocked off Northwestern 63-48.

Nate Reuvers scored 11 points to lead the Badgers, who shot just 39% from the field, but four other players scored 9-points each (Brevin Pritzl, Aleem Ford, Brad Davison and Micah Potter) in the win.

The Badgers finished 8 of 25 (32%) from three-point range, but won their seventh straight game and 20th of the season.  Wisconsin has now won 20 or more games in four of Greg Gard’s five seasons as head coach.  Gard also collected his 100th career victory (100-57) in Madison.

The Badgers have gone from a 5-5 start in December to a three-way tie for the Big Ten lead.  They’ll close out the regular season at Indiana on Saturday and can wrap up at least a share of the Big Ten title with a win.

Badgers wrap up non-conference schedule with win over Rider

January 1, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers struggled against Rider’s zone defense in the first half, but Rider struggled even more against Wisconsin’s defense.  They fell to the Badgers 65-37 on Tuesday night in Wisconsin’s final non-conference tuneup of the season.

Rider shot just 16.7% from the field in the first half ans 24.6% for the game.

Nate Reuvers scored 15 points to lead four players in double figures.  Aleem Ford had 14 points while Brad Davison and Brevin Pritzl added 11 each.

Wisconsin (8-5) and Rider (7-4) combined to miss 21 of their first 23 shots from the field to start the game.

Pritzl was Wisconsin’s offense, hitting three 3-pointers in the first nine-plus minutes of the first half.  He scored all 11 of his points in the first half as the Badgers took a 21-11 lead into the locker room at halftime.

Davison came out of the locker room and hit three straight three’s for the Badgers to start the second half.  Two D’Mitrik Trice threes opened Wisconsin’s lead to 48-21 just seven minutes into the second half.

The Badgers improved to 7-0 at the Kohl Center this season and will resume Big Ten play on Friday night at 5th ranked Ohio State.

Badgers beat Green Bay after learning of Potters fate (AUDIO)

November 22, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin men’s basketball team found out just hours before game time that forward Micah Potter’s final appeal to be re-instated immediately had been denied.

It means Potter will miss a total of 10 games this season and won’t be eligible to play until December 21 against UW-Milwaukee.

The Badgers went out and built an early double-digit lead, led by 22 at the half and cruised to an 88-70 win over the Green Bay Phoenix at the Kohl Center.

It was the fourth straight win for the Badgers (4-1), who have won 24 of 25 games against Green Bay (1-3) in the series.

Six Badgers finished in double figures, led by Nate Reuvers with 19.  Brad Davison added 15, Kobe King and Aleem Ford has 12 each.  D’Mitrik Trice scored 11 points and Brevin Pritzl scored 10, including a buzzer beating three point attempt just before halftime.

The Badgers hit 10 of 19 three-pointers in the first half and finished 15 of 31 from beyond the arc.

Freshman Amari Davis led four Green Bay players in double-figures with 16 points.

Marquette’s All-American senior guard Markus Howard poured in 16 points on 6 of 12 shooting in the first half, but the Wisconsin Badgers made life much tougher on Howard in the second half and pulled out a 77-61 win over the Golden Eagles at the Kohl Center.

Howard missed all nine of his shots in the second half, making only a pair of free throws.

“Honestly, it was a team effort,” Badger guard D’Mitrik Trice said.  “We know he’s a great, great scorer.  He’s one of the best in college basketball, so we knew it was going to take all of us to lock him up on defense.  We knew it would lead to offense.”

Trice finished with 10 points, one of six Badgers scoring in double figures.  Brevin Pritzl led the way with 15 points and 13 rebounds.  Brad Davison also had 15 points in the win.  Aleem Ford added 12 points. [Read more…]
