I thought cbs announcer Bill Raftery had retired
both teams shooting well, all tied up early 16-16 
Badgers going toe to toe with Boilers. Down 37 - 36 at the half. Only 6 of 18 on 3's and 2 of 4 on FT. Purdon't shot 14 FT made 10, home court advantage for them. Nobody agreed with the foul on McGee.
Clark Kellog on the halftime show making excuses for the refs.
58-50 Badgers. Badgers on a 10-0 run, thanks, mostly, to Tonje! 23 points, so far. 13 of those, in the second half.
Winter limps off the court. Turned his ankle, a bit.
71 - 60 Badgers at the under 8 TO. Can Bucky hang on?
Purdon't turns it over , Blackwell with a bucket for a 7 point lead with 1:00 to go!!!!!
Bomb pass to Winter on the inbound. Raftery says it should be a flagrant 1on the purdont player.
That’s a better pass than Locke threw all year.
Tonje fouled on the rebound. Shooting 2. Made both. 93-81 Badgers.
58 second half points!!! 61% on FG. 75% on FT. Tonje with 32, Klesmitt with 17 but 1 - 6 on 3's.
And another jump in the polls on Monday.
team showed a lot of mental and physical toughness today. big win.
There is 1 spot the Badgers will jump over, Wichita State just knocked off # 14 Memphis. Also # 13 Arizona lost yesterday and since Badgers already beat them they should jump over them too.
Interesting comments from Matt Painter on John Tonje and the game. From Badger Wire:
"He's a great scorer. Obviously he's older, he's been around a long time and this is his third school. But he can really score. You saw that 41-point game he had against Arizona where he got to the free throw line 20 times. He's just great at driving the basketball. He hit a couple step-backs. He hit a step-back three in the corner down at their end to start the second half. That was big time. Then he hits another and then we foul him. So right there, in a row, he gets some quick points for them. And we're scoring. We start the second half and we're scoring. But they're 4-for-5. Right away, I remember looking up and seeing, we can't make a run. We always talk about five, six, seven kills — a kill is three stops in a row. If you can get to five, you're normally going to be alright. If you can get to six, you're going to win. By seven, you're probably going to dominate somebody. Those kills allow you to go on runs. When you score 47 points in the second half and you're up one at half, you think, 'Hey, that's a win.' But you don't realize you just gave up 58 points. We had zero kills tonight. In the first half, we got our kills to two shutouts four different times, we could never get to three in a row. That's where you see the lack of separation. We should have separated at that time, but to their defense, they didn't allow that. They did a good job of continuing to score and they were better than us."
