Their two big men were back on the floor — with three fouls each — during the crucial stretch late in the second half when the Badgers took off on a 12-1 run. Since losing to Maryland, Wisconsin has won five straight, with all except Friday’s by double digits, including a 64-54 win over then-undefeated Michigan on Jan. 19. Before Friday’s game, Maryland had played three of the past four away from Xfinity Center. Later, in the second half, Ayala ended Wisconsin’s 7-0 run and Maryland’s four-minute scoring drought with a three. “When Happ’s playing like that, they’re really hard.”And during stretches in the second half, Maryland had to try to guard Happ without their best big men.
