The Wisconsin Badgers achieved their greatest win of the season, who drove past Spartan’s 77-74 in a real fight against the Big Ten tournament championship for the second time in a row.

The Badgers never led with more than seven points, but never over the final 14:37 when she avenged her defeat against the state of Michigan from the past a month.

John Tonje was aggressively the answer and scored 32 points with only 15 field attempts, while John Blackwell had important coupling moments for the Badgers Lat in the game.

Defensively, Wisconsin overcame an early State Michigan State Flurry to put together a strong performance in the first half, and then just enough against a hard opponent in the second half to get the victory out.

Now the Badgers will progress on Sunday, where they will take over the winner of Maryland Terrapins and the Michigan Wolverines.

Here are three quick snack stalls from Wisconsins 77-74 victory against Michigan State.

All-American steals the show

Back in East Lansing, the Badgers fought really aggressively and thanks to their terrible 5/32 shooting, they had their lowest performance of the season with only 62 points.

After the state of Michigan took the lead from 13: 4, it was clear that Wisconsin would need a spark either by John Tonje or John Blackwell to get things going. And her all-American replied.

Tonje started to go really late in the first half, ate the free -wire line and at the same time met a few triple. He led the Badgers with 14 points on just five attempts to shoot and provided Wisconsin with the spark of the offensive that they urgently needed.

But in the second half he grew really alive in a battle back and forth. With John Blackwell, who fought for a large part of the game, Tonje was the contact for the Badgers and scored seven directly for Wisconsin to break an 8-0 run from Michigan. This brought the Badgers the lead, which they kept in a very competitive matter for a large part of the half.

In the past two days, he has shown a different intensity, shit from his calm behavior, spoken to the opponents and lit according to key moments. And that lasted on Saturday and drove Wisconsin’s fire in the physical fight.

Tonje has shown several times this season that he can make himself available to the occasion if he has to, which is why he is an all-American this season. Ultimately, with 32 points, he ended a perfect 12/12 from the line with only 15 Field Goal attempts before missing two free throws.

In the last minutes of the second half, he received a great help from Blackwell, which had some coupling moments, including one corner three, hard and 1 and a large layup with the gunfire, which turned up with less than 90 seconds to bring the Badgers to five.

But Tonje was the most valuable player in the tournament in the first three games and made the Badgers on Saturday for their biggest win of the season in a coarse -grained environment.

Defense efforts

The conversation of the city of Wisconsin was shooting on Friday. But the defense of the Badgers was excellent, pressed the color and did things for the UCLA differently.

This exceeded another impressive defensive performance on Saturday, when Wisconsin put together after a slow start. In the first few minutes it didn’t look good in the first few minutes when the Spartans rose to a quick 13: 4 lead and started 5/7 from the field and 3/3 from Deep.

But Wisconsin really bottled things from there and put together strong defense efforts from that time, which slowly changed the tides in her favor in half.

The state of Michigan shot the rest of the half, including 1/7 from Deep, only 5/22 from the field. The restriction of the Spartans to 4/15 within the arch was extremely impressive because the state of Michigan was able to downhill at an early stage.

After Wisconsin had approved some early offensive rebounds, he put on the possibilities of second chance to a certain extent to give himself a little more breath.

The state of Michigan was able to be fundamentally fundamental throughout the game, but I was impressed by Steven Crowl’s ability to close these lanes on the edge, which made the shots harder and the Spartans took deeper. Crowls Robben for rebounds were also enormous against a team in Michigan State, which thrives on the glass and take the chance of second chance.

Wisconsin found out his offensive rhythm by attacking the rims more, but it was her defensive effort that really looked at the tone in the first half to reach the lead at half -time.

The state of Michigan did not achieve a field gate in the last 5:27 and missed her last six attempts and eight of her last nine.

In the second half, the Spartans had a better performance, scored 41 points to 46.7 percent from the field and achieved an early start with some success at Post Touch. But Wisconsin was invented, which fit offensive in the back and forth battle and led to the last summer.

The state of Michigan has done a good job to master leads when they get out of runs this season. Wisconsin was able to manage the early flurry on Saturday and put together a sufficiently defensive performance to win a big game.

Time for Milwaukee?

When I entered Saturday, I thought that the Badgers needed a victory so that they were safe through their No. 3 seeds and increased their share in Landung in Milwaukee for the first weekend of the NCAA tournament.

Wisconsin had a great chance against Michigan State because she was the only team as Maryland in No. 3 seed competition that was still playing on Saturday.

The state of Iowa has bowed in the BIG 12 tournament quarter -finals in front of BYU. Texas Tech lost in the Big 12 tournament against Arizona. And Kentucky was blown out from 29 to Alabama in the quarter -finals of the SEC tournament.

The Badgers had a strong curriculum vitae, which was dropped against Penn State last weekend. A victory against the Spartans puts her over the top in the race for No. 3 seeds.

If Wisconsin is able to pass Iowa State, you should have a good chance of playing regionally in the Milwaukee on the first weekend of the NCAA tournament. Of course, the debate can be put away if the Badgers can win the Big Ten tournament on Sunday, but I think they have now done enough to get to No. 3 and receive the Milwaukee difference for the first weekend.

This will be completed tomorrow during the selection Sunday show immediately after the Big Ten tournament championship, but I feel optimistic about the chances of the Badgers on the big day.
