Wisconsin hammers Michigan

Jason Bohannon heaved up a 35-foot shot just before the halftime buzzer, then pounded his fist as it went through cleanly. It was that kind of day for No. 16 Wisconsin.

Bohannon scored 18 points to lead the hot-shooting Badgers to a 62-44 victory over Michigan on Saturday in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Trevon Hughes added 14 points and Jordan Taylor had 13 for the Badgers (18-5, 8-3 Big Ten), who were 9 of 13 from 3-point range in the first half in taking a 40-26 lead. The trio combined to go 7 of 9 from behind the arc in the opening 20 minutes.

"We did a tremendous job of finding the open guy," said Bohannon, who also had 5 assists. "And we shot the ball pretty well."

Hughes had 3-pointers at the start and end of a 14-0 run midway through the first half that gave Wisconsin a double-digit lead it held the rest of the way.

DeShawn Sims led the Wolverines (11-12, 4-7) with 18 points.

Minnesota 66, Penn St. 64: Lawrence Westbrook's long jumper as time expired capped a frantic final minute, and Ralph Sampson III had 13 points and 2 key blocks late to lead Minnesota (14-8, 5-5 Big Ten) past Penn State (8-15, 0-11). Westbrook skipped to center court to join his jubilant teammates after his desperation shot from the left corner went in to give Minnesota just its second road victory of the season.
