MADISON - The Wisconsin men’s basketball team pounded Iowa 67-to-40 last night in Madison. The 15th-ranked Badgers had an 18-0 run midway through the first half and rolled from there to win their home season finale.

Jon Leuer led Wisconsin with 18 points, as he continues his comeback from a broken wrist suffered in early January. Seniors Trevon Hughes and Jason Bohannon each had double-digit performances in their final game at the Kohl Center. Hughes scored 15. Bohannon had 11 points and a career-high nine rebounds. Iowa’s 40 points were a season-low for a Wisconsin opponent.
