Not that Wisconsin needed a reminder, but life on the road in the Big Ten isn’t easy. The Badgers, who drained 32 three-pointers in the previous two games, got a taste of their own medicine in the second half at Maryland on Wednesday night.
Tonje, a sixth-year shooting guard who spent his first four seasons at Colorado State and last winter at Missouri, racked up game highs in both points (23) and 3-pointers (five) and grabbed six rebounds for Wisconsin. But the Terps (17-5, 7-4 Big Ten) emerged with a 76-68 victory thanks to double-digit production from all five of their starters.
