John Blackwell Drops 2-Word Reaction to Carter Gilmore’s Breakout for Wisconsin

Trailing 46-38 with just over 15 minutes to play, Gilmore provided the spark Wisconsin needed, drilling back-to-back threes before adding a layup and a putback in transition to put the Badgers ahead for good. His performance was met with an outpouring of support, both from his teammates and former players.

Sophomore combo guard John Blackwell summed it up simply on social media: “Gillyyy jamesss.”

Gilmore, who entered the game never having scored more than nine points, took a moment postgame to reflect on what the performance meant to him.

“I mean, it makes all the hard work and all the haters and all those comments worth it for sure,” Gilmore said. 

“I’m a true Wisconsin Badger. All I want to do is make the fans happy, so I was lucky and glad that I could do that today for sure.”
