Happ helps No. 22 Badgers withstand NC State in 79-75 win

MADISON, Wis. -- With every win in what has been a rugged early-season schedule, No. 22 Wisconsin is proving that last year may have been just a fluke.

The Badgers are back to their old, reliable ways -- getting clutch stops and key contributions from different players.

Ethan Happ had 19 points and 11 rebounds, D'Mitrik Trice hit a long jumper with 23.6 seconds left and Wisconsin withstood North Carolina State's in-your-face defense to rally for a 79-75 win on Tuesday night.

Wisconsin's Brad Davison drew a charging call on Markell Johnson on the perimeter with 16 seconds left.
