Buries Illinois with five triples Blackwell notched 24 points (9-22 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 43 minutes during Tuesday's 92-90 OT victory over Illinois.

Impact Blackwell's 24 points were his most since the Jan. 13 win over Minnesota, which was also the last time he canned five three-pointers. The guard was excellent for Wisconsin, hitting big shots to keep the Badgers in the game and then knocking down a huge three-pointer in overtime to give Wisconsin what wound up being an insurmountable lead. Blackwell appears to live for the bright lights, playing his best in hostile environments and clutch situations.

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.
