The University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team flirted with a 100-point offensive performance as they beat Houston Baptist University 96-59 at the Kohl Center Saturday.
The home team was never really threatened as the Badgers had a 19-point lead only 10 minutes into the contest which never waverd.
Wisconsin’s big men Ethan Happ and Nate Reuvers lead the way early on the offensive end — their dominance inside resulted in 54 points scored in the paint.
Happ and Reuvers both finished with 15 points, a career high for Reuvers.
“It’s always fun to score points but I’ve just got to do what this team needs,” Reuvers said.
