In a complete and total turnaround from their quarterfinal game, the Wisconsin Badgers (4-1 overall, 0-0 Big Ten) roared out to a 13-0 lead against the No. 12 Houston Cougars (4-1 overall, 0-0 American) on their way to an eventual 20-point halftime lead. The Badgers were aggressive on defense, flying around and deflecting passes, while also being smart and patient on offense, passing out of double teams and finding the open man.
Sophomore wing Johnny Davis, coming off of a career-high scoring night on Monday, shattered his day old record and had a bit of a national coming out party.
