Trice as Nice: Guard leads No. 25 Badgers past Sooners

UW advances to Battle 4 Atlantis title game with 78-58 win over Oklahoma

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas (AP) - D'Mitrik Trice set career highs with 25 points and a tournament-record seven 3-pointers to help No. 25 Wisconsin beat Oklahoma 78-58 in Thursday's semifinals at the Battle 4 Atlantis.

Trice started 7 for 7 from behind the arc, the last coming when he pump-faked a defender and stepped to his right to bury the shot for a 66-47 lead with 6:22 left. But he finally missed a 3 less than a minute later to finish at 7 for 8.  Trice was one 3-pointer shy of the school record as his 7 treys rank second in program history.

That was also the first missed 3 after halftime for the Badgers (5-0), who made 8 of 9 after halftime and 14 of 22 for the game. Wisconsin shot 59 percent in the second half, using a 10-0 run to blow the game open.

Ethan Happ recorded his 5th double-double in 5 games with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Happ also added 5 assists, marking the 4th time this year he has put up a performance with 10+ points, 10+ rebounds and 5+ assists.

Kobe King set a career high with 14 points and was 3-for-5 from 3-point land.

Christian James scored 18 points for the Sooners (4-1), who shot 47 percent but couldn't slow the Badgers' second-half roll.

UW will face the winner of Virginia/Dayton in the championship game on Friday, Nov. 23 at 1 p.m. CT on ESPN.
