After a period of struggles in the gauntlet that is the Big Ten conference, Wisconsin basketball got back to winning ways on Tuesday. The Badgers took down Maryland 74-70 in a game that saw AJ Storr throw down one of the dunks of the season.
The Badgers used balanced scoring to defeat the Terrapins, with four of the five Wisconsin starters finishing in double figures. The Terps put together a late run, but in the end the Badgers held them off with clutch buckets from Max Klesmit. Tyler Wahl finished with a game-high 18 points in the conference win that lifted Wisconsin to 10-6 in the Big Ten and 18-9 overall.
Here is a look at reactions to the win and arguably the dunk of the season:
AJ Storr throws it down
Klez with a dagger:
New day, new feelings on Greg Gard
Wahl led the way:
Good start to unranked Wisconsin:
Wisconsin Basketball being unranked is the best news I’ve heard in a while
Now we cook

A win is a win:
Beating a mid Maryland team is Wisconsin’s biggest win of the season so far
That’s how bad a loss here would have been

Ten for the Badgers:
Maryland can’t buy a close one
Final: Maryland 70, Wisconsin 74
Maryland suffers its fifth loss in the past six games. Those losses have come by a combined 25 points.
It also moves to 1-8 in games decided by four points or less, an absolutely absurd stat.
