LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Brad Davison scored 17 of his 21 points in the first half, freshman Chucky Hepburn added 13 in his return to Nebraska, and No. 11 Wisconsin defeated the Cornhuskers 73-65 on Thursday.

UW (16-3, 7-2 Big Ten) bounced back from a loss to Michigan State last Friday to win for the eighth time in nine games. The Badgers have won four straight conference road games.

The game originally was scheduled for Tuesday but was pushed back two days to allow Nebraska to come out of a COVID-19 pause.

Davison set the Wisconsin record for career 3-pointers, making 5-of-8 triples to push his total to 274 in 147 games. It was fitting the record fell in Lincoln — Davison is 21 of 39 on 3s (54%) in five games at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and he set the single game school record with eight 3s in a win at Nebraska two years ago.

Hepburn's third 3-pointer with 9:28 left in the first half gave the Badgers the lead for good, 23-21, and they built the cushion to as many as 18 points midway through the second half.

Johnny Davis scored 13 points and Steven Crowl added 12 points. Tyler Wahl started for the Badgers after missing last week's matchup against Michigan State due to injury. He grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds.

Wisconsin has won seven in a row in the series and 15 of 19 since Nebraska joined the conference in 2011.

The Badgers are back in action Sunday at the Kohl Center for a Border Battle with rival Minnesota. Tip is set for noon on Big Ten Network.
