MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin men's basketball dominated Green Bay, 72-34, at the Kohl Center on Friday night.

The Badgers defense held the Phoenix to 12-for-51 shooting (23.5%) from the floor, which marked the lowest opponent field-goal percentage since UW held Virginia to just 23.4 percent shooting back on Dec. 4, 2013.

Steven Crowl paced the Badgers with a career-high 18 points and a team-high seven rebounds.

Johnny Davis and Brad Davison joined the sophomore forward in double digits with 15 points apiece.

UW's size gave Green Bay trouble throughout the matchup, as the Badgers outscored their in-state foe, 32-12, in the paint and out-rebounded them, 50-31.

Wisconsin finishes its season-opening homestand against Providence on Monday, Nov. 15. Tip is set for 8 p.m. CT and the game can be seen on FS1. For tickets, please visit UWBadgers.com.
