The Wisconsin Badgers blew past the UCLA Bruins 86-70 in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, putting on an all-around masterclass in a complete performance.
Wisconsin was stellar offensively, as ball movement was the key, assisting on 22 of the team’s 30 field goals. Guards John Blackwell, John Tonje, and Kamari McGee each had four assists, but it was the overall movement that led to open shots in a number of areas on the court.
“[The coaching staff] prepared us well,” Tonje said after the game. “We were able to look at some of the things we did well and some of the things we didn’t do so well the last game [against UCLA].
