A monster 23-point game from forward Tyler Wahl helped the Badgers to climb back from their deficit, and he also finished with 10 rebounds, three steals and two assists. Wisconsin guard Connor Essegian had another great game with 17 points and five rebounds while going 3-7 from deep.
The Badgers will continue their trip in the Bahamas against the USC Trojans on Friday as they battle for third place in the Battle 4 Atlantis Tournament.
