CHAMPAIGN — The hesitation crossover that set Wisconsin’s All-Big Ten forward Ethan Happ back on his heels brought the State Farm Center crowd to its feet, an anticipatory rumble running through the arena.
The three-pointer off the separation, that move created ignited the Illinois faithful. They roared. And did so again on a 28-foot pull-up to beat the shot clock just a minute later.
Those were just two of the seven three-pointers Trent Frazier hit earlier this month. It was the second time in less than a month the freshman guard went 7 of 11 from three-point range, and it helped him set a new career high with 32 points.
