MADISON—Once again erasing a first half deficit, the No. 19 Wisconsin Badgers came back and eventually tamed the Penn State Nittany Lions in a 61-57 win at the Kohl Center on Saturday afternoon.
A big reason for the win came from redshirt junior guard Brevin Pritzl, who tied a season-high with 17 points on a perfect 5-of-5 shooting. That included making all four of his three-point attempts, three during a key stretch of the second half.
Redshirt junior forward Ethan Happ scored 14 points on 6-of-14 shooting, grabbed six rebounds and dished out five assists in the victory for Wisconsin (20-9, 12-6 Big Ten).
