Jason Bohannon and Wisconsin went outside the arc to take down Maryland. Bohannon scored 20 points, and Jon Leuer added 16, leading the Badgers to a 78-69 victory over No. 21 Maryland in the third-place game of the Maui Invitational on Wednesday at the Lahaina (Hawaii) Civic Center. Trevon Hughes had 14 points for the Badgers (4-1), who made 10 of 22 three-pointers, including four by Bohannon. "The difference was we hit more threes and they didn't," Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan said. Greivis Vasquez led Maryland (4-2) with 18 points. He was 6 for 13 from the floor and 2 for 4 from beyond the arc. "What hurt us today is that they shot 10 for 22 on their threes, combined with us shooting 10 for 17 on free throws," Terrapins coach Gary Williams said. "That combination in a game like that isn't good." Williams believes Wisconsin will be a Big Ten contender this season. "Nobody ever seems to notice them, but Wisconsin will be a factor," he said. "They seem to show up in the (NCAA) tournament every year and I'm sure they will again this season." Maryland scored the first seven points before Wisconsin answered with a 16-2 run to take a 16-9 lead with 11:59 left in the first half. Wisconsin stretched the lead to 37-27 at halftime. Maryland pulled to 51-48 with just more than 10 minutes remaining, but got no closer. Led by Leuer's seven points, Wisconsin went on a 14-5 run to open a 65-53 lead with 5:51 to play. The Badgers led by at least seven the rest of the way. Bohannon finished 4 for 5 from long range. Hughes went 5 for 17 from the floor, including 3 for 8 on threes. Maryland was 5 for 13 on three-pointers. The Terrapins, the top-ranked team in the field coming in, beat only Division II tournament host Chaminade. Wisconsin left Maui with wins over Maryland and Arizona. "Maybe the learning curve here, with the experience that they have gained, will help them," Ryan said. "I am hoping that is a big part of it." Penn State outduels Sacred Heart: David Jackson scored 26 points to lead host Penn State to a 87-75 win over Sacred Heart. Talor Battle added 19 points and grabbed eight rebounds for the Nittany Lions (4-2). Corey Hassan scored 24 points and had seven rebounds, while Chauncy Hardy added 21 points for the Pioneers (2-3). Ohio State women roll: Jantel Lavender scored 27 points, and Samantha Prahalis added 13 points and 11 assists to lead No. 3 Ohio State to an 89-56 win over visiting UNC Greensboro. Lavender, who stretched her double-figures scoring streak to 72 games, made 11 of 17 shots from the field and all five free throws, and added seven rebounds and two blocks. Sarah Schulze added 11 points before the Buckeyes (6-0) rested most of their starters. Amanda Leigh scored 15 points to lead the Spartans (1-3), who lost their third in a row. Texas loses Ward: Texas guard Varez Ward will miss the rest of the season with a ruptured quadriceps tendon in his right leg. Team trainer Eric Fry says Ward will have surgery next week. Ward started the first three games for the No. 3 Longhorns (4-0) before injuring himself in warm-ups before Tuesday night's win over Pittsburgh. He averaged 6.7 points and three rebounds and led the team with seven steals.
