University of Wisconsin wing AJ Storr and University of Akron forward Sammy Hunter both helped their teams get wins Tuesday night.

Storr scored 15 points and he pounded the glass to the tune of 12 rebounds to help his pack of Badgers beat Big 10 Conference rival Minnesota 61-59 in a game that came down to a desperate last-second attempt that the gofers missed to give Wisconsin the win.

Hunter scored nine points and grabbed three rebounds to help his Akron Zips get a 67-58 win over the University of Ohio.

They’ve dominated so far this season going 7-0 in their conference.
