Davis scores 24 but Badgers can’t hang with Ohio State
Another good game from La Crosse’s Johnny Davis but the University of Wisconsin men’s basketball team couldn’t compete with Ohio State in a battle of No. 21 vs. No. 22.
Davis had 24 points, seven rebounds, three steals and three assists but the 22nd-ranked Badgers fell 73-55 on the road.
The loss snaps a six-game winning streak for Wisconsin (8-2). It’s the first loss with the sophomore Davis in the lineup.
The 6-foot-5 guard shot 11-for-22 from the field but just 2 of 7 from beyond the arc. He only had one turnover in 38 minutes. One other Badger scored in double figures — Brad Davison with 13. Last time out, Davis was the only Wisconsin player to score double figures.
Davis is averaging 20.9 points on 46.6% shooting, including 14-for-37 from beyond the arc (37.8%). Last season, he averaged 7.0 points.
