Tonje scored a career-high 41 points to power the Badgers in a 103-88 upset victory over No. 9 Arizona Friday night at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis. Well, by the rankings it was an upset. Wisconsin was frankly in control from wire to wire.

John Tonje, welcome to Badgers immortality. On Friday, the transfer from Missouri dropped 41 points, finishing two shy of Frank Kaminsky's school record for single-game scoring, and the Badgers knocked off No. 9 Arizona, 103-88, in a performance that ended with Wisconsin fans storming the Kohl Center court.

That’s the sentiment from the Wisconsin side. From an Arizona perspective, the loss is the program’s first under head coach Tommy Lloyd in the month of November, now in his fourth year with the program. It is a significant blow to the team’s sky-high expectations entering the season after a Sweet 16 run in 2023-24.
