#Badgers Highlight Alert: Ethan Happ with steal at top of key at one end & behind the back dribble vs Drick Bernstine & flush at other end

Ethan Happ had little impact in first 2 games beyond battling foul trouble. Was best player on floor 1st half vs North Dakota: 11 pts/6 rebs

Defensive gem of game: After scramble play, North Dakota had 3-on-1 fast break. The "1" was Bronson Koenig who deflected pass out of bounds

Developing chemistry. On back-2-back possessions, Nigel Hayes & Ethan Happ worked 2-man game: Hayes to Happ for score; Happ to Hayes for FTs

Andy Van Vliet handled media full court pressure with poise following NCAA ruling. Needs redshirt physically but it's tough losing a year
