Max Klesmit
AJ Storr

Max Klesmit, took control of the game late and scored all of his 18 points in the second half as No. 15 Wisconsin won its fifth straight, rallying to beat Ohio State 71-60 on Wednesday night.

A 3-pointer from Klesmit put Wisconsin up by 1 with a 5:16 left. The defense kept the clamps on Ohio State as Klesmit kept shooting, scoring nine of the last 14 points for the Badgers (12-3, 4-0 Big Ten).

Wisconsin outscored Ohio State 19-4 in the final six minutes to pull away. AJ Storr, the transfer from St. John’s, gives the Badgers something they haven’t had in years, athleticism, streak shooter, tall, lanky at 6’8, had 15 of his 17 points in the first half for the Badgers, the only undefeated team left in the Big Ten.
