The Wisconsin Badgers had a strong 64-52 win over the Iowa Hawkeyes, aided by a late second-half 10-2 surge that pushed them ahead for good, providing them with their first win over five points since December 30th.
A big reason for the win? Forward Tyler Wahl, who posted 11 points and 14 rebounds on 5/8 shooting, setting the tone for the Badgers with his aggressiveness and physicality on both ends, which was much needed as Steven Crowl played just 13 minutes due to foul trouble.
Defensively, Wahl drew the toughest matchup, pairing up against star forward Kris Murray, who was limited to just five points on 2/10 shooting, with the Badgers forward playing a huge role.
