Wisconsin basketball looked as dominant as ever in its 116-85 win over Iowa on Friday. In its first game of 2025, the Badgers’ offense simply overwhelmed the Hawkeyes. Fueled by a career-best 32 points from John Blackwell, Wisconsin generated a 20-point advantage early in the second half to put a ribbon on win No. 11 of the season.

Specifically, UCLA shot 14-of-20 from two-point range in the second half. A bulk of the Bruins’ paint scoring arrived from the aforementioned Mara and bench guard Sebastian Mack. The Badgers had no answer. Wisconsin shot extremely well from the outside, but UCLA’s consistence presence down low was devastating on Tuesday.
