Steven Crowl’s 14 points led the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team to victory Sunday in its only exhibition game this season.
Two other Badgers players scored in double figures during the 76-45 win over UW-Eau Claire at the Kohl Center: Tyler Wahl and Connor Essegian had 10 points each.
The Badgers forced the Blugolds into 11 turnovers, led by Chucky Hepburn's four steals. Max Klesmit had the first defensive play of the season when he dove on a loose ball in Eau Claire’s first offensive possession for a steal.
The Bluegolds found success from 3-point range, with 30 points coming from long range and finishing at 30.
