MADISON, Wis. — It took about seven minutes for Wisconsin to build a double-digit lead over Nebraska. Then it took just over five minutes for the Huskers to wipe it away.

A 20-3 run that began at the midway point of the second half powered Nebraska to its first-ever win at the Kohl Center on Monday, a 74-63 victory over the Badgers.

The Huskers emerged victorious despite 25 points from junior Ethan Happ, who added 11 rebounds to record his 10th double-double of the season — and the 30th of his career. Happ also logged six assists and four blocks.

Nebraska's James Palmer Jr. exploded for 21 points in the second half to finish with 28 in leading the Huskers (17-8, 8-4 Big Ten) to victory in a game they led for just 4 minutes and 49 seconds.

Wisconsin was in control from the opening tap and jumped out to its largest lead — an 11-point cushion — when Khalil Iverson's thunderous dunk made it 55-44 with 9:59 remaining.

The Badgers would get just two baskets the rest of the way, however, and the Huskers rallied with to take the lead for good when a Palmer layup made it 60-58 with 4:35 to go.

Iverson finished with 13 points and Brevin Pritzl added nine for the Badgers (10-13, 3-7).

Wisconsin is back home at the Kohl Center on Thursday to take on Northwestern. Tipoff is set for 7:30 p.m. on FS1.
