The Wisconsin Badgers rebounded last night from their home to Ohio State with a 61-55 road victory over the Maryland Terrapins.

The win moves the Badgers to 13-4 on the season, to 7-3 in Big Ten play and avenges the team’s loss to Maryland earlier in the season.

Maryland head coach Mark Turgeon spoke with the media after the game and addressed the Badgers’ victory, noting the contributions of senior forward Micah Potter but also acknowledging that his team didn’t play its best game.

Here is everything Turgeon said about Wisconsin basketball after the game:

Report: Emmanuel Sanders, Chris Godwin plan postgame jersey swap

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders and Tampa Bay Buccaneers wideout Chris Godwin planned a postgame jersey swap, ESPN reports

[jwplayer v4gFWz3M-ThvAeFxT]

The NFL has banned typical postgame jersey swaps between players from opposing teams as an unnecessary risk during the COVID-19 pandemic, but plans are still being made for respect to be shown among peers. Tide has stepped in to sponsor these exchanges by handling the cleaning and shipping costs, and ESPN’s Jenna Laine reports that New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders will be participating in the program. He’ll be swapping jerseys with one of his Tampa Bay Buccaneers counterparts, Chris Godwin.

Sanders joined the Saints on a two-year free agent contract early this summer, while Godwin is a 24-year old entering the final year of his rookie contract. Godwin broke out with a Pro Bowl season in 2019, catching 86 of 121 targets to gain 1,333 yards and score 9 touchdown receptions (leading Tampa Bay in each stat). He’s a rising star in the league, and it’s great to see Sanders recognizing him.

At the same time, it’s a sign of respect for what Sanders has accomplished. Despite being stuck with a series of bad quarterbacks ranging from Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch to Jimmy Garoppolo and Brock Osweiler, Sanders has still averaged more than 50 yards per game each year he’s played (except for 2017, when he missed time with an injury). He’s a two-time Pro Bowler himself, a Super Bowl champion, and the best No. 2 receiver the Saints have paired with Michael Thomas since Brandin Cooks talked his way out of town.

Here’s hoping Sanders’ Saints get the better of Godwin’s Bucs on Sunday.

WATCH: Tom Brady will send jersey to Joe Mixon, who was too starstruck to ask

Bengals running back Joe Mixon got to meet Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in one of those postgame moments after New England’s 34-13 win Sunday in Cincinnati.

Jersey exchanges have become more common in the NFL recently, opposing players coming together postgame to chat and swap jerseys as a sign of respect.

Bengals running back Joe Mixon got to meet Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in one of those postgame moments after New England’s 34-13 win Sunday in Cincinnati. But he didn’t get a Brady jersey because, as he tweeted Sunday night, he was too starstruck to ask:

NFL stars: They’re just like us!

But Christmas is coming early for the third-year running back because, on Monday morning, Brady tweeted back:

The future Hall of Famer shared his perspective during his weekly appearance on Boston radio station WEEI, saying he remembers meeting his idols as a young NFL QB.

“There was a time when I was a young player and I looked up to so many players,” Brady said. “Now that I’m on the other end, I understand kind of how it goes.

“I feel like that still with guys. I’ve been around Joe Montana and Steve Young and Jerry Rice and Brett Favre — some of the greats and I feel the same way about some of them. It’s just part of our nature.”
