No. 24 Wisconsin Rolls Past Northern Illinois 97-72 Behind Boyd’s Career-High 25

Freshman Zach Kinziger is weighing a redshirt following two DNPs in a crowded backcourt.

Overview

  • Nick Boyd scored 25 points with 20 in the first half, surpassing his previous single-game best from last season at San Diego State.
  • Wisconsin controlled the glass with a 36-25 rebounding edge and a 15-4 advantage in offensive boards, converting that into a 21-2 margin in second-chance points.
  • The Badgers shot 49.2% from the field and went 28-for-37 at the free-throw line, while reserves contributed 29 points to a balanced attack.
  • John Blackwell added 15 points and Nolan Winter 12 as Wisconsin built a 20-5 start, led 52-33 at halftime, and never trailed.
  • Head coach Greg Gard said Kinziger is contemplating a redshirt, and Wisconsin, now 2-0, hosts Ball State on Tuesday.
