The backstory:
After four seasons at Colorado State, Tonje averaged 20 points per game in his only season at Wisconsin. The 6-foot-5 guard was a unanimous All-Big Ten First Team selection, a second-team All-American pick, and a semifinalist for Naismith Player of the Year.
The Badgers were eliminated in the second round of the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament after making a Big Ten Tournament run that ended with a loss to Michigan in the championship game.
