Wisconsin basketball's top scoring option is playing his best basketball at the perfect time of the season.

Through two games of the 2025 Big Ten Tournament, Badgers wing John Tonje has tallied 44 points, 16 rebounds, five assists and three steals off 16-of-24 shooting from the floor and 8-of-11 from distance. His dominant 26-point, nine-rebound output against UCLA propelled Wisconsin into the Big Ten Tournament semifinal against the Michigan State Spartans.

In the victory, the First-Team All-Big Ten honoree and Naismith Player of the Year semifinalist claimed the No. 3 spot on Wisconsin's all-time single-season scoring list behind program legends Frank Kaminsky (2014-15) and Alando Tucker (2006-07).
