Badgers coach Greg Gard says Thursday’s 78-68 win over Ohio State shows his team is “more than Johnny.”
Despite an off-night by Johnny Davis, Wisconsin was dominant while claiming its sixth straight Big Ten Conference victory.
Brad Davison led the way with 25 points, but sophomore forward Tyler Wahl had a big hand in the victory.
He scored 20 points, handed out a career-high six assists, and provided lock-down defense on Buckeyes star E-J Liddell.
It shows how high Davis’ star has risen that a 14-point, nine-rebound effort was called an off-night.
Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann pointed to the Badgers’ physical play and poise in the first half as the big reasons for his team’s defeat.
Wisconsin will take a 14-and-2 record into its game at Northwestern next Tuesday.
