John Blackwell - College Basketball News & Rumors

Leading scorer for Badgers Blackwell supplied 19 points (7-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and two steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 85-66 win over Montana.

Impact Blackwell excels at forcing the issue at the rim, and that's exactly what he did -- and exactly what Wisconsin needed -- against an undersized Montana team. Blackwell repeatedly got to the rack on his dribble-drives, having no issue getting to his dominant hand and taking Grizzlies off the bounce all afternoon. On a night when their leading scorer was quieter than normal (John Tonje only took five shots), the Badgers needed Blackwell to be assertive and he answered the bell. Next up is the winner of VCU and BYU.

Carrying Badgers down the stretch Blackwell supplied 25 points (8-21 FG, 2-9 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 11 rebounds and two assists over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 74-67 win over Minnesota.

Impact Blackwell has become the most consistent scorer for a Badgers team with hopes for a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. He's even showed some impressive rebounding prowess while maintaining offensive production over his last three games, averaging 22.7 point and 9.0 rebounds over that span. On top of that, he's had to resume more ball-handling responsibility in the absence of Max Klesmit (lower body), and he's protected the basketball relatively well with just five total turnovers in that three-game set.
