On Wednesday night, the Wisconsin Badgers dropped their second-straight game in a 73-55 loss to the Maryland Terrapins. A bright spot for the Badgers was the scoring of true freshman guard Connor Essegian, who racked up a career-high 19 points.
Essegian and forwards Tyler Wahl and Steven Crowl combined for 43 of Wisconsin’s points, while the rest of the team only scored 12. The Badgers shot 39.6 percent from the field, compared to a dominant 56 percent from the Terrapins. Wisconsin definitely missed the defense of guard Max Klesmit, who did not play for a second-straight game after getting elbowed in the face against Penn State.
The Badgers will face another test at home on Saturday when they match up against the Illinois Fighting Illini.
