Max Klesmit tied his career-high for points at Wisconsin on Thursday night as the Badgers earned a 79-67 win over a veteran Montana State team at the Kohl Center. The Badgers lead was just 39-36 early in the second half but Klesmit made sure it wouldn’t stay that close for long. After hitting three 3-pointers in the first half, the senior drilled two more on back-to-back possessions to give Wisconsin an 11-point lead. The Bobcats would get no closer than nine the rest of the way.
