Nebraska head coach Fred Hoiberg had high praise for Wisconsin following the Badgers’ blowout win over the Cornhuskers on Sunday. Backed by 27 points from star wing John Tonje, the Badgers rolled to an 83-55 victory in front of a raucous home crowd.

Tonje dropped 27 points, 15 of which arrived in the first frame, and corralled five rebounds in 29 minutes of action. Sophomore guard John Blackwell finished with 14 points and four boards, Kamari McGee scored 11 points and nailed three three-pointers off the bench and Max Klesmit chipped in with eight points and seven rebounds.

The 23rd-ranked Gophers women's basketball team let arch-rival Wisconsin hang around for a while through the first half but dominated the second half on its way to a 71-50 blowout victory Sunday afternoon at Williams Arena in Minneapolis.
