Freshman Brad Davison hit a free throw with two seconds left giving Wisconsin an 81-80 win over Western Kentucky Wednesday night. The victory ended a two-game losing streak for the Badgers. Center Ethan Happ and guard Brevin Pritzl led Wisconsin with 17 points apiece. Davison finished with 16. The Badgers committed 15 turnovers and missed 10 of their 23 free throws, but shooting almost 73 percent from the floor in the second half covered up a lot of problems. Wisconsin hit five of its first six 3-point attempts after the break, erasing a deficit and taking a 65-54 lead. The Hilltoppers came roaring back to tie the game at 71 and it went back-and-forth after that. Davison drew a foul while setting a screen and hit the first of two free throws to improve Wisconsin’s record to 5-7. U-W-Green Bay visits the Kohl Center Saturday, December 23rd after a break of a week-and-a-half for the Badgers.
