Blackwell leads Wisconsin against Ohio State after 23-point game

Wisconsin plays the Ohio State Buckeyes after John Blackwell scored 23 points in Wisconsin's 67-63 victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers

JANUARY 30 • Associated Press

Drains dagger three in comeback win Blackwell recorded 23 points (4-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 11-14 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 67-63 victory over Minnesota.

Impact Blackwell was essentially silent in the first half for the Badgers, who trailed by 18 points at halftime, a deficit that would eventually balloon to 20 before Wisconsin started a furious comeback. Just like he did in the first meeting between these two teams, Blackwell came alive in the second half, scoring the Badgers' final seven points, including what would ultimately be the dagger three-pointer. Obviously, Wisconsin would like its star junior guard to play like that all game, but he played his best when it mattered the most yet again.

Blackwell leads Wisconsin against Minnesota after 26-point performance

Wisconsin faces the Minnesota Golden Gophers after John Blackwell scored 26 points in the Badgers' 91-88 victory against the Michigan Wolverines

JANUARY 13 • Associated Press

Sparks upset with game-high 26 Blackwell notched 26 points (9-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 38 minutes during Saturday's 91-88 win over Michigan.

Impact Blackwell's scoring fell off a bit over the final four games of December, as he averaged just 9.7 ppg, potentially due in part to an undisclosed injury that forced one DNP. He rallied a bit with 17 points in a win over UCLA earlier in the week, though his outside shooting didn't quite click, as he was 1-for-9 from distance. That changed Saturday against the top team in the country, as Blackwell knocked down four treys -- his highest single-game total since Dec. 6. His 26 points were also a game-high. It's not an oversimplification to say the Badgers will go as Blackwell goes, as point guard Nick Boyd (19.7 ppg) has been impressive this year, but Wisconsin sees the most success when both are scoring at a high rate. Next up is a matchup at Minnesota on Tuesday.
