(BadgerChatters Newswire) – Jon Leuer scored 25 points to lead Wisconsin in a 68-58 win over Wisconsin-Milwaukee Wednesday night.
The Badgers (9-2) used a 19-8 run to close the first half, putting them up 41-29. Wisconsin then spent the second half holding the Panthers (8-5) at bay.
In his last four games, Leuer has scored at least 24 points three times along with a pair of double-doubles. He was an efficient 11 of 14 from the field and blocked two shots. Leuer has been extremely consistent over his last eight games, averaging 19.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 1.1 blocks during that stretch.
The Badgers built their lead as high as 16 in the early part of the second half before UW-Milwaukee was able to cut it back to 10 with just less than 6 minutes left. But the Panthers could pull no closer, and a quick Wisconsin flurry ended any hopes of a comeback.
Keaton Nankivil and Jordan Taylor scored 14 points for the Badgers.
Ricky Franklin led UW-Milwaukee with 13 points.
