In the Pro Bowl on Sunday in Orlando, the AFC beat the NFC, 26-7.
D’Mitrik Trice knows when opponents double team Ethan Happ in the post, it creates opportunities for the Badgers on the perimeter.
Saturday was an example of what happens when Happ finds open teammates and they’re sharp from outside.
Happ registered his second triple-double of the season with 13 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists as Wisconsin beat Northwestern 62-46. Meanwhile, Trice and Brad Davison scored 18 points apiece for the Badgers (14-6, 6-3 Big Ten), combining to shoot 7 of 12 from behind the 3-point line.
The Wildcats (12-8, 3-6) turned in their worst shooting performance of the season, hitting 30 percent from the field and an abysmal 7 of 30 in the second half (23 percent).
Happ now has two of Wisconsin’s three triple-doubles in school history. His first was in a season opening win over Coppin State Nov. 6 as he scored 10 points, grabbed 11 rebounds and dished out 12 assists. Josh Gasser had the first Wisconsin triple-double with 10 points, 12 rebounds and 10 assists in a 78-46 win over Northwestern eight years ago.
