MADISON - Ryan Evans and Ben Brust combined for 30 points in an 80-54 exhibition win over UW-Stevens Point by UW-Madison Saturday.

Jordan Taylor handed out seven assists in the victory. Hot shooting from three-point land kept the Badgers from being seriously challenged by the Pointers. They hit half their attempts from long range. Jared Berggren scored a dozen points and had three steals. Wisconsin jumped out to an early 14-2 lead and had a double-digit edge most of the way. Typical to Bo Ryan teams, the Badgers were efficient with the ball in the first game, racking up 19 assists and committing just five turnovers.

Senior Dan Tillema had a game-high 24 for the Pointers, who are defending WIAC champions and are favored to win that league again this season.
