Nolan Winter and John Tonje each scored 18 points to lead No. 18 Wisconsin to a 70-63 victory over Northwestern in the second round of the Big Ten Tournament

On Tuesday the Big Ten announced Tonje as a first-team all-conference pick. He is the first Badger to achieve that distinction since Johnny Davis in 2022 and the fourth first-team selection in Gard’s 10 seasons as head coach.

Just one Badger made any of the three honor teams, as John Tonje was on the first. John Blackwell made honorable mention after Wisconsin finished fifth overall in the conference.

Following a remarkable regular-season slate, Badgers wing John Tonje earned a unanimous spot on the 2024-25 All-Big Ten First Team. He becomes the 12th Badger since 2000 to pocket a first-team distinction.
