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.

February 10, 2020 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers scored the final 16 points of the first half and led by 18 at the halftime break, on the way to a 70-57 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Sunday at the Kohl Center.

Brevin Pritzl scored 19 points off the bench, including 5-of-6 from three, as the Badgers improved to 14-10 overall and 7-6 in Big Ten play.

The Badgers hit 8-of-18 three pointers in the first half and finished 12 of 32 for the game (37.5%).

The Buckeyes shot just 32% from the field in the first half.  That, along with their nine first half turnovers allowed the Badgers to go on a 31-7 run over the final 10-plus minutes.

The Badgers defensively didn’t allow the Buckeyes to get comfortable and held the Big Ten’s top three-point shooting team to 6 of 19 from distance (31.6%).  UW put an end to Ohio State’s three-game winning streak.

Aleem Ford also scored in double figures, finishing with 10 points and nine rebounds in the win.

The Badgers moved into a tie with Purdue with both teams trailing first place Maryland by 2 1/2 games.  The win over the Buckeyes is the second of the season for UW.

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.

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.

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…]

Badgers wake up in second half to pull away to victory

November 14, 2019 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers had to dig a little deeper on their bench on Wednesday night but eventually pulled away to beat McNeese State 83-63 at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers were short-handed to start, playing with old Kobe King who injured his ankle in practice on Monday.  Then they had to deal with Nate Reuvers foul trouble for much of the game.

With the Badgers off to a slow start, coach Greg Gard went to his bench and called on the likes of Tyler Wahl and Walt McGrory.  McGrory is a walk-on and one of his biggest roles is testing the starters in practice as a member of the scout team.

McGrory had combined for just 11 points in 22 games in his first two seasons, hadn’t played in the Badgers first two games.  But he set a personal best with 24 minutes and a career high 9 points last night.

It was McGrory and Brad Davison who supplied most of the first half firepower.  Davison finished with a season high 24-points, making 3 of 4 three-pointers, 7 of 8 shots overall and a perfect 7 of 7 at the free throw line. [Read more…]

The Wisconsin Badgers stayed with the Iowa Hawkeyes in their Big Ten opener in Iowa City and in the end, pulled out a 72-66 victory.

Ethan Happ fouled out with 45.8 seconds left, but the Badgers still got a big three-pointer from D’Mitrik Trice with 20 seconds left.  Then it was Brad Davison and Trice hitting some key free throws to maintain a two possession lead to give the Badgers (7-1, 1-0 Big Ten) the win.

The Hawkeyes led for much of the second half.  Their biggest lead was eight early on, but the Badgers made several small runs to keep the game within striking distance.

Trice had 20 points to lead the Badgers, hitting 4 of 8 three-pointers.  Happ left with 13 points, seven rebounds and five assists.  Brevin Pritzl came up big off the bench with 12 points and four rebounds.

The Badgers had to deal with foul trouble throughout as Nate Reuvers, Aleem Ford, Khalil Iverson and Davison all spent extra time on the sidelines.

Iowa was led by Tyler Cook with 19 points and 15 rebounds.
