Wisconsin-Nebraska basketball Score, recap, stats (January 29, 2018)

Wisconsin-Nebraska basketball score: Recap
Nebraska 74, Wisconsin 63 (Final): Wisconsin gave away an 11-point lead in 

what has to be one of the most disappointing loss of the season for the 

Badgers. Wisconsin is now 10-13 this season, including 3-7 in Big Ten play, 

and the Badgers have lost three consecutive games. Ethan Happ was a bright 

spot for Wisconsin with 25 points. But the Badgers went cold down the 

stretch against a half-court trapping defense.

Nebraska 60, Wisconsin 58 (3:54, 2nd): Wisconsin looks lost offensively 

against Nebraska’s half-court trap. Somebody — presumably Ethan Happ — is 

going to have to come up with a big play to turn this around for the 

Badgers. Nebraska has outscored Wisconsin 16-3 since the Badgers took a 55

-44 lead.

Wisconsin 55, Nebraska 52 (7:28, 2nd): Nebraska is in the midst of an 8-0 

run to get back into this game. Wisconsin’s offense has gone stagnant and 

has been held scoreless over the last 2:31. It appeared Wisconsin might 

have this game close to wrapped up when it took a 55-44 lead. But nothing 

has come easily for the Badgers this season. Ethan Happ leads all scorers 

with 23 points.

Wisconsin 50, Nebraska 40 (11:49, 2nd): Aaron Moesch buries his first 

career 3-pointer to bring the Kohl Center crowd to life. Wisconsin’s 

offense has started to get some production outside of Ethan Happ, and the 

Badgers are pulling away. This has been a strong second half after 

Wisconsin led by just two points at the break.

Wisconsin 45, Nebraska 40 (13:34, 2nd): Wisconsin continues to hold 

Nebraska at bay, led by Ethan Happ’s 22 points and 8 rebounds. Brevin 

Pritzl has connected on a pair of 3-pointers and is up to 9 points.

Wisconsin 32, Nebraska 30 (Halftime): Ethan Happ scores inside as the 

buzzer sounds to give Wisconsin the halftime lead. Happ has been an 

absolute star tonight. He has 18 points, 4 rebounds, 3 blocks and 3 

assists.  Nobody else on the team has scored more than 3 points.

Wisconsin 28, Nebraska 24 (3:34, 1st): Ethan Happ’s 14 points, 3 rebounds 

and 3 assists lead the way for Wisconsin. But, as has been the case plenty 

this season, he hasn’t found much help. Nebraska has played zone defense 

with big man Jordy Tshimanga still on the floor despite having three fouls. 

So far, the strategy has kept Nebraska in the game. The Cornhuskers are 

double-teaming Happ and forcing other Badgers to beat them.

Wisconsin 25, Nebraska 19 (7:10, 1st): The two biggest ovations tonight 

have come for Ethan Happ’s 3-pointer and several Badgers football players 

being introduced during a timeout. A.J. Taylor, David Edwards, Beau 

Benzschawel, Michael Deiter, T.J. Edwards and Alex Hornibrook were 

introduced to celebrate the team’s Orange Bowl victory. On the basketball 

floor, Ethan Happ has 11 points. No other Wisconsin player has scored more 

than 3 points.

Wisconsin 17, Nebraska 10 (11:50, 1st): Nebraska battled back to tie the 

score at 10-10, but Wisconsin has scored the last 7 points. Ethan Happ is 

off to a tremendous start with 9 points and 2 assists.

Wisconsin 10, Nebraska 4 (15:00, 1st): The biggest development from the 

first five minutes is that Badgers forward Ethan Happ buried his first 

career 3-pointer, which drew a nice ovation from the Kohl Center crowd. 

Happ has done is work in the post, but spent a significant amount of time 

honing his shot in the offseason. He has 5 early points, while Brevin 

Pritzl has 3.
