No let-down for Badger hoops as they crush Grambling

Wisconsin Sports
- Trevon Hughes scored 20 points and took down seven rebounds, leading Wisconsin to a 79-46 rout of Grambling State at the Kohl Center.

MADISON - Trevon Hughes scored 20 points and took down seven rebounds, leading Wisconsin to a 79-46 rout of Grambling State at the Kohl Center.

Hughes scored 13 of his points in the second half. He also had four assists. The Badgers are 6-1.

The Tigers only led the game once at 4-3, but Wisconsin promptly went on a 17-2 run and never was threatened again.

The Saturday win, coupled with defeats of top-25 teams Maryland and Duke, means Wisconsin could be ranked when the poll comes out this week.

It was a chore to simply make it to the game for Grambling. The Louisiana school's plane had mechanical problems, meaning the traveling party had to split up. They didn't make it to Madison until after 11 Friday night. They had left Shreveport 16 hours earlier.
