Tyler Wahl scored 18 points and Max Klesmit scored 16 points and Wisconsin made 11 of 12 foul shots in the last 42 seconds to fend off Maryland 74-70 on Tuesday night.
Chucky Hepburn scored 11 points and AJ Storr 10 for the Badgers (18-9, 10-6) who finished 28 of 31 from the foul line.
Jahmir Young scored 20 points, Julian Reese 18 and Donta Scott 12 for Maryland (14-13, 6-10).
The Badgers seemed safe when Klesmit buried a 3-pointer for a 63-56 lead with 56 seconds left, but Young hit a 3 to reduce the Terrapins’ deficit to 68-65 with 12 seconds remaining. Ten seconds later, Jamie Kaiser Jr. made a 3 to get Maryland within 72-70 before Klesmit made two free throws for the final points.
Wahl’s layup with 10:30 remaining before halftime put Wisconsin ahead 15-14, and the Badgers used a 9-2 run over the final four minutes to take a 37-29 intermission lead.
Wisconsin’s win coupled with Iowa’s road win against Michigan State puts the Badgers in sole possession of third place in the Big Ten. Wisconsin is 2-1 since suffering a four-game losing streak.
Wisconsin heads to Indiana on Feb. 27.
Right-hander Jakob Junis and the Milwaukee Brewers finalized a one-year contract that includes a mutual option for 2025.
Junis, 31, went 4-3 with a career-best 3.87 ERA in four starts and 36 relief appearances for San Francisco last season, striking out 96 and walking 21 in 86 innings. He is 38-45 with a 4.64 ERA in 110 starts and 57 relief appearances over seven seasons with Kansas City (2017-21) and the Giants (2022-23). Junis is another option for the defending NL Central champion Brewers as they attempt to retool their starting rotation afte trading 2021 NL Cy Young award winner Corbin Burnes to Baltimore and allowing two-time All-Star Brandon Woodruff to become a free agent.
Freddy Peralta, a 2021 All-Star, figures to head the rotation. The Brewers also return left-hander Wade Miley and right-hander Colin Rea. They acquired left-hander DL Hall, who has experience both relieving and starting, in the Burnes trade.
The Brewers hope to get left-hander Aaron Ashby back after he missed the 2023 season with a shoulder injury. They also have added former Washington right-hander Joe Ross, who is recovering from Tommy John surgery and hasn’t pitched in a major league game since August 2021.
Robert Gasser, one of the players acquired in the 2022 trade that sent star closer Josh Hader to San Diego, could be ready to compete for a spot in the rotation after going 9-1 with a 3.79 ERA for Triple-A Nashville last season.
Left-hander Clayton Andrews was designated for assignment by the Brewers on Wednesday to open a roster spot.
Badgers fans may have a shorter wait than expected to see their team play at Lambeau Field.
Wildcat Report says Northwestern athletics director Derrick Gragg recently told alumni that the Wildcats would play a game at Lambeau Field this fall.
Northwestern is scheduled to host Wisconsin on October 19th, but Ryan Field is being torn down to build a new stadium in Evanston, Illinois. A project that is not scheduled to be finished until 2026.
The Packers would not comment on the report. They have never hosted an outside event inside Lambeau Field during the NFL regular season, but they were originally scheduled to host a Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame tilt in October 2020 before that game was postponed until 2026 due to Covid-19 protocols.
There is a natural tie-in between the Packers and Northwestern, with Packers president Mark Murphy formerly serving as the Wildcats’ athletics director.

Missouri prosecutors said Tuesday that two adults have been charged with murder in last week’s mass shooting that killed one person and injured 22 others near the end of the Kansas City Chiefs ‘ Super Bowl parade.
Lyndell Mays, of Raytown, Missouri, and Dominic Miller, of Kansas City, Missouri, are both charged with second-degree murder, two counts of armed criminal action and unlawful use of a weapon.
According to court documents, the two men were strangers who pulled out guns and began firing within seconds of starting an argument. Both men were shot, and they have been hospitalized since the shooting, Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said during a news conference.
They are each being held on a $1 million bond.
