MADISON, Wis. Cheap Air Max 90 Shoes . -- Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said it was a simple formula against Green Bay on Wednesday night.When the Badgers were dribbling east-west and not sharing the ball, things bogged down. When they moved the ball, cut and screened for each other, things clicked.Shaking off some early sluggishness, Wisconsin beat Green Bay 73-59 as Nigel Hayes scored 24 points.The Wisconsin offense was at its best when the Badgers (10-2) were sharing the ball, and they had 18 assists on 27 field goals.Youre a lot harder to guard when the ball moves like that, Gard said.While Hayes offensive output wasnt much of a surprise, Zak Showalters was. The senior guard is averaging less than 7 points a game and came in shooting less than 29 percent from behind the 3-point line.But he connected on a career-high four 3-pointers as he scored 16 points, while Ethan Happ added 14 points and 10 rebounds.Showalter credited Happ for some of his success, saying the Phoenix (4-6) were doubling down on him in the post. Happ made them pay with six assists.Its just good to see the ball go through, and it really felt good tonight, he said.Green Bay coach Linc Darner said Showalters shooting wrecked his game plan, which included sagging off Showalter when he was on the perimeter.It was almost like he knew we werent going to come out and guard him and he caught them in rhythm, Darner said.Kerem Kanter led Green Bay with 18 points.BIG PICTUREGreen Bay: The Phoenix are 1-22 vs. Wisconsin and 0-19 in Madison. Their only win in the series was in 2009. Green Bay was competitive at times Wednesday night, but couldnt sustain it.Wisconsin: The Badgers did exactly what they were expected to playing at home against an in-state rival it has regularly handled with ease. They now get a break to take care of finals before one last tune up ahead of Big Ten play starting Dec. 27.KEY RUNSThe Badgers were a little lethargic to start and trailed Green Bay 12-11 almost 9 minutes into the game. But they reeled off a 20-4 run that included a nearly 5-minute scoreless drought for the Phoenix. Green Bay cut the lead to seven early in the second half. But Wisconsin responded with a 25-8 run that blew the game open.ONE YEAR ON THE JOBWednesdays game was an anniversary of sorts for Gard. Then-coach Bo Ryan abruptly resigned almost a year ago after a win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, and Gard was immediately installed at the interim coach. His first game at the helm was one week later, an 84-79 win over Green Bay. Gard joked the only thing thats changed since then is his hairline. The basketball and the relations with the players remains the same, and its strong, he said.HAPP CONNECTSAt 6-foot-10, Happ knows his game is largely in the post, and he hasnt even attempted a 3-pointer in his two seasons. But the crowd erupted when he pulled up just inside the top of the key and drained one. Happ, who has been working to add an outside shot to his game, noted one difference between making one near the top of the key and scoring under the basket. It was nice to not have to run the length of the floor for once to get back on defense, he said.HAYES CROSSES 1,500Hayes became the ninth player in Wisconsin to score 1,500 points and has 1,510 for his career. According to Wisconsin, hes the only active player in the country with 1,500 career points, 600 rebounds and 200 assists.UP NEXTGreen Bay: The Phoenix return home Saturday for the first time in three weeks to host Belmont.Wisconsin: The Badgers host Florida A&M on Dec. 23.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and twitter.com/AP-Top25.

SEATTLE -- After struggling defensively in its first two games of the season -- even surrendering 98 points to Yale in a home loss to open the 2016 slate -- Washington appeared to find its mojo on both sides of the ball Sunday in a 92-58 win over Northern Arizona at Alaska Airlines Arena.The Huskies (2-1) set the tone defensively on the Lumberjacks (1-4) opening two possessions, one ending in a Malik Dime block and the other a turnover forced by Matisse Thybulle, the first of five from the Lumberjacks before the under-12 timeout and 16 total.Weve improved (since Yale), Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said. There is more of a sense of urgency out there. That means our teams gonna be better defensively. Theres more of an awareness, more of a want-to. Still got a long ways to go, but definitely made an improvement.Markelle Fultz made 6 of 9 from the field, including two 3-pointers and finished with 16 points, eight assists and seven rebounds. It was his first game not scoring at least 30 points, but taking only nine shots and focusing on getting the Huskies big men involved was part of the game plan going in, Romar said. Washington finished with 50 points in the paint, compared to 24 for NAU.The Lumberjacks remained within striking distance into the second half, but Washington put them away in the games final 13 minutes. The Huskies opened up a 38-point lead, going on 33-10 run before inserting the last men on their bench for the final three minutes.We started denying their big men when they came up to run the high-low and reverse the ball, Noah Dickerson said of what keyed their 23-point run. Once we started to do that, they didnt run any offense. It was basically one-on-one or a ball screen. . We were off to the races.Dickerson scored 12 and ggrabbed eight rebounds, Thybulle had 15 points for the Huskies.

NAU entered the game with just one win in its first four, and it came against a Division III opponent, Benedictine Mesa. NAU cleaned up some sloppy play early in the game and can look to take a sliver of momentum into its game at UNLV on Tuesday.Washington: The Huskies turned in their best performance of the young season, proving they can put away a team, albeit an outclassed one. After giving up 98 points to Yale and 88 to Cal State Fullerton, holding NAU to 58 is a welcome sight for Lorenzo Romar. The Lumberjacks shooting percentage rarely climbed above 40 percent all game, finishing with 20-of-65 shooting (30.8 percent).HE SAID ITIf I were a betting man, Id bet you a pack of Red Vines that he will. -- Romar on if Fultz will record a triple-double before he leaves Washington.
