Graduate student John Tonje finished with 22 points, his fourth game with at least 20 points, to lead Wisconsin. The 6-foot-4 guard hit five of 12 shots, including three of six from three-point range, and nine of 10 from the free throw line.

The score would seesaw until veteran guard Kamari McGee, who scored 10 points off the bench, canned a three-pointer to push Wisconsin ahead 65-62. Tonje would follow with a layup on the ensuing possession, and the Badgers did not relinquish their lead for the remainder of the game.

After dropping 41 points on No. 9 Arizona, Badgers guard John Tonje has been named both the AP national player of the week and Big Ten men's basketball player of the week.

After dropping 41 points in UW’s signature win over Arizona on Friday, Badger wing John Tonje earned Big Ten Player of the Week nods on Monday. Tonje is the first Badger to receive the honor since Johnny Davis in 2022. In the win, the graduate student also became the fourth player in UW history to score at least 40 points.
