Happ, Pritzel lead Wisconsin in easy win over UMass Lowell
MADISON — With nonconference play now wrapped up, Wisconsin coach Greg Gard is looking for one thing: consistency.Saturday's win was a step in the right direction on that front as the Badgers cruised to an 82-53 win over UMass Lowell.The win comes three days after Gard expressed frustration with a drop off on the defensive end during the second half of an 82-70 win over Chicago State."You're always taking it one step at a time, one day at a time and trying to retain what you've achieved and continue to inch forward and improve," Gard said.UMass Lowell (6-7) simply didn't have the size to stop Ethan Happ, who scored 18 points in 20 minutes, and Brevin Pritzl heating up from the outside with 18 points as well, upending the River Hawks' game plan.The River Hawks only listed one starter taller than 6 feet, 4 inches, and the 6-10 Happ had 11 points just more than halfway through the first half.Pritzl, meanwhile, had been hitting 33 percent of his 3-point attempts coming in.
