#21 Terps Fall at #24 Wisconsin

MADISON, Wis. – Eric Ayala finished with a team-best 18 points, but No. 24 Wisconsin beat No. 21 Maryland 69-61 Friday night.

Wisconsin, which leads the Big Ten in hitting nearly 40 percent of its 3-pointers, heated up from outside in the second half to pull away. Brad Davison scored 21 points and Ethan Happ added 18. Davison finished with four 3s for the Badgers (16-6, 8-3).

Maryland (17-6, 8-4) started 6 of 10 from 3-point range, but hit just 2 of 10 in the second half.

The Terrapins were forced to go deep into their bench in the second half with starting post players Bruno Fernando and Jalen Smith in quick foul trouble. Fernando was called for this third foul on a charge less than 3 minutes into the second half. Eight seconds later, Smith was whistled for a foul on Happ's lay in.

Fernando finished with 13 points while Anthony Cowan Jr. totaled 11.

Maryland travels to Nebraska on Wednesday.
