Giving up big leads makes me nervous cause against legit teams that’s just not gonna fly. But regardless I think this game confirmed what we already knew about Carter Gilmore. The Mavs definitely traded Luka to free up room to draft CG. And they made the right call

Greg Gard had his guys ready to play against the Indiana Hoosiers. The Wisconsin Badgers will next play against the Iowa Hawkeyes on the road on Saturday.
Stats
John Tonje led the Badgers in scoring with 15 points against the Hoosiers. He also grabbed five rebounds and recorded one assist. Max Klesmit scored 13 points, grabbed one rebound, and recorded six assists.
Nolan Winter scored 12 points for the Badgers and Carter Gilmore also added 10 points for Wisconsin. It is a good sign that four players scored in double figures for Wisconsin. John Blackwell will still be a big part of this basketball team moving forward despite not scoring in double digits against the Hoosiers. This is a team that could be a force come March if they play at a high level like Tuesday night against Indiana.
