Wisconsin Basketball: Top five performances of Ethan Happ’s career
4. Northwestern @ Wisconsin (January 26, 2019)
Prior to the 2018-2019 season, there had only been one triple-double recorded in Wisconsin history, per ESPN.com. Ethan Happ registered his second triple-double of the season in this contest against Northwestern.
Happ did everything for the Badgers as their offense worked through him, and he found shooters open on the perimeter all game long. Happ ended with 13 points, 11 assists, 12 rebounds, two steals, and two blocks, stuffing the stat sheet and leading his team to a 62-46 victory.
It wasn’t a good shooting night for Happ as he went 6-15 from the field, but he made up for it with a 74.1% assist rate, an insane number for a low post player. The win came in the middle of a six game win streak which helped the Badgers climb from outside of the top 25 to #19.
