Ethan Happ scored 20 points, Nigel Hayes added 15 and 10 rebounds, and No. 10 Wisconsin held on for a 65-60 win over Indiana on Sunday.
The Badgers (20-3, 9-1 Big Ten) won their seventh straight game. Maryland’s loss to Purdue on Saturday allowed Wisconsin to take a one-game lead in the conference over the Terrapins.
The 6-foot-8 Hayes joined the 6-foot-10 Happ to give Indiana problems in the paint. But the Badgers were plagued by mistakes or missed foul shots after building a 12-point lead midway through the first half.
Indiana (15-9, 5-6) stayed within a couple possessions of the lead for most of the rest of the way. Josh Newkirk’s two foul shots with 28.6 seconds left got Indiana within 60-57, but Wisconsin went 5-for-6 from the foul line from that point.
North Carolina 83, Notre Dame 76: Justin Jackson scored 16 points as No. 12 North Carolina beat No. 20 Notre Dame in a game postponed a day and relocated from UNC’s campus due to a water shortage. Isaiah Hicks added 14 points for the Tar Heels (21-4, 9-2 Atlantic Coast Conference). V.J. Beachem scored 20 for the Fighting Irish (17-7, 6-5), who have lost five of six.
Florida St. 109, Clemson 61: Dwayne Bacon tied a career high with 29 points as No. 15 Florida State (20-4, 8-3 ACC) rolled over Clemson (13-9, 3-7). It is the first time FSU reached 100 in an ACC game since a 111-109 double-overtime loss to Georgia Tech on Feb. 11, 1999.
