Wisconsin Badgers vs. UT Rio Grande Valley: Game Thread
Fresh off a 103-88 victory over the No. 9 Arizona Wildcats, the No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the UT Rio Grande Valley Vaqueros on Monday, with tip-off set for 7:00 p.m. at the Kohl Center.
The Badgers easily had their best performance of the year last Friday in the win over Arizona, gaining national traction after putting up 100 points over a top 10 team in the country.
The storyline was transfer wing John Tonje, who poured in 41 points on 8/14 shooting, while hitting 21/22 of his free throw attempts in a record-setting performance for the Badgers.
That prompted them to be ranked as the No. 19 team in the country one week after earning six votes, making their debut in the AP Top 25.
