Wisconsin used 3-point shooting and smothering defense to jump out to a 33-16 halftime lead over Rhode Island Wednesday afternoon and the Rams never recovered. The Badgers' lead grew to as many as 20 in the second half before posting a 73-62 win to improve to 4-1 on the season. Senior Brad Davison led Wisconsin with 23 points, going a perfect 12-for-12 at the free throw line. Micah Potter added 13 points and a team-high 7 rebounds while Aleem Ford chipped in 11 points.
