Braeden Carrington, Owen Foxwell guide Wisconsin to 73-64 victory over Delaware
Braeden Carrington and Owen Foxwell scored 16 points each as Wisconsin regained control after halftime and improved to 2-0.
On Friday, the Wisconsin Badgers defeated the Delaware Blue Hens 73-64 at the Kohl Center in Madison, with Braeden Carrington and Owen Foxwell each scoring 16 points.
Wisconsin prioritized defensive grit this offseason after being bludgeoned defensively last season, a stark shift from the team's high-scoring approach that led to the NCAA Tournament.
Forward Victory Onuetu recorded his first power-conference double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds, while Delaware's Chuck Bailey III scored a game-high 26 points on five 3-pointers.
A 13-3 second-half run helped the Badgers pull away decisively, with Wisconsin holding a commanding 16-2 edge in points off turnovers over the final stretch.
The Badgers continue their homestand by hosting Fairfield on Tuesday night, seeking to build on their defensive success against a Stags team that lost to Vermont in their opener.
