Here is everything Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard said when meeting with the media after the Badgers' road loss to Maryland
Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard shared how the Badgers can avoid their recent struggles in the month of February.
DeShawn Harris-Smith, who was just 4 for 22 from long distance on the season, scored from beyond the arc with the Terrapins down five. It was the first of four straight 3s by Maryland during a 14-2 run that sent the Terps to a 76-68 victory over No. 17 Wisconsin on Wednesday night.
Tonje, a sixth-year shooting guard who spent his first four seasons at Colorado State and last winter at Missouri, racked up game highs in both points (23) and 3-pointers (five) and grabbed six rebounds for Wisconsin. But the Terps (17-5, 7-4 Big Ten) emerged with a 76-68 victory thanks to double-digit production from all five of their starters.
With eight wins in its last nine games, No. 17 Wisconsin is in high gear as it faces the most daunting stretch of its Big Ten schedule, playing four of its next five games on the road.
Michigan may be the toughest team in the Big Ten, and a bruising series could help the Badgers is they try to grind their way into the playoffs.
Not that Wisconsin needed a reminder, but life on the road in the Big Ten isn’t easy. The Badgers, who drained 32 three-pointers in the previous two games, got a taste of their own medicine in the second half at Maryland on Wednesday night.

Wisconsin is still looking for another signature win after running into a resilient Terrapins squad on the road Wednesday night. Here's what stood out in the loss.
Auburn has all but sewn up its first one-seed since 1998-99 with an incredible 12-1 record against Quad 1 opponents. Houston led all teams with 13 Quad 1 wins in the regular season last season, and the Tigers have a chance to smash that mark with eight more Quad 1 matchups over their final 11 games of the regular season.
