MADISON, Wis. Billy Turner Super Bowl Jersey . -- Wisconsin coach Greg Gard says what makes Nigel Hayes and the Badgers play at their best is one in the same -- how far the 6-foot-8 forward is from the basket.And with Hayes working largely from 18 feet and in, he scored a season-high 28 points Saturday as No. 17 Wisconsin shook off a slow start and blew past Oklahoma 90-70.The further he gets from the basket, the more the hard match-up scenarios level off or dissipate, Gard said.Gard said what impressed him most about Hayes was he shot 13 free throws, hitting 10, and didnt turn the ball over once while dishing out six assists. Most of those assists were at the rim as the defense collapsed, opening up outside shots.Hayes said hes just taking what the defense gives him.Its just a matter of me staying consistent, staying confident in myself with the work I put in, whether its inside or outside, just going with that mindset that no one can guard me, said Hayes, who took only two 3-point attempts and made both.The Badgers (7-2) trailed Oklahoma (5-2) the entire first half as they struggled to guard dribble handoffs that gave the Sooners momentum while attacking the rim. But once the Badgers cleaned that up and found their shooting touch, they pulled away.Wisconsin was 4 of 13 from behind the arc in the first half, and Rashard Odomes put Oklahoma up 58-57 with a 12-footer 8 minutes into the second half. But Bronson Koenig of the Badgers answered with a 3 that started a 20-3 run to put the game away.The Badgers connected on 8 of 14 3-point attempts in the second half, including three in their decisive run.Koenig, Ethan Happ and DMitrik Trice all scored 16 points for Wisconsin.Oklahoma committed 16 turnovers, eight in each half. But the Sooners were able to overcome that in the first half by hitting 5 of 8 from behind the 3-point line. Those shots stopped falling in the second half as they went 1 of 6, and coach Lon Kruger said the Sooners didnt find a way to answer as Wisconsins confidence shot up in their final run.Odomes led Oklahoma with 17 points.Some of it was certainly our doing. Some of it was Wisconsin making a good play, Kruger said of the 20-3 run. Those opportunities are what we have to learn from and certainly do a better job.BIG PICTUREOklahoma: It was the first true road game and first against a ranked opponent for a squad that has 11 underclassmen on the roster. But the Sooners didnt come out intimidated and built an eight-point lead in the first half. Still, they contributed to that decisive Wisconsin run with six turnovers over the 5-minute run. They havent beaten a ranked non-conference team in a true road game since 1989.Wisconsin: When the Badgers have an inside and outside game working together, they can put on a display. Struggling from outside in the first half, they were outscored 40-37. Hitting from the 3-point line, they outscored Oklahoma 53-30 in the second half.FALSE ALARMMidway through the first half, the Kohl Centers firm alarm went off, triggering a recorded message there was an abnormal condition in the building and urging everyone to exit. The game continued with the alarm still going off, including as Hayes went to the free throw line and hit 1 of 2. The alarm eventually stopped, and the public address announcer said there was no emergency in the building.POLL IMPLICATIONSThats consecutive wins for Wisconsin over teams from Power Five conferences, which should provide a boost to the Badgers, who dropped a spot in the poll last week after losing to North Carolina 71-56 in Hawaii.UP NEXTOklahoma: On Wednesday, the Sooners host Oral Roberts, who they have beaten 14 straight times.Wisconsin: The Badgers host Idaho State on Wednesday.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

Week 9 is another difficult one for fantasy owners with the Bears, Bengals, Cardinals, Patriots, Redskins and Texans on their bye. Since youll likely be delving a bit deeper into the depth charts, keep in mind that another eight teams still have their break coming up; four in Week 10 and another four in Week 11.If your roster is in good shape for this week, it doesnt hurt to think ahead. Here are some players to consider adding in Week 9:---SAM BRADFORD (QB, Vikings)If youre looking for a bye week substitute or streaming candidate at quarterback then Bradford is a solid choice. The Detroit Lions have allowed an average of 25.7 fantasy points per game to the quarterback position, third most in the NFL.CHARCANDRICK WEST (RB, Chiefs)Spencer Ware is in the leagues concussion protocol and Jamaal Charles is obviously not healthy. That leaves West to handle the primary running back duties. Ware owners should consider adding him for insurance but others should look elsewhere.ANTONE SMITH (RB, Buccaneers)If Jacquizz Rodgers is out and Doug Martin still isnt ready to play, then Smith will likely be the primary back instead of Peyton Barber. Since the game is on Thursday and the matchup is good, Smith may be worth a flier if your fantasy team is thin at running back.DERRICK HENRY (RB, Titans)DeMarco Murray has an injured toe that is being monitored this week. If Murray is limited or cannot play against the Chargers, Henry could see a significant bump in touches. The Chargers have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs, so Henry would be a nice play if he gets 20 or more touches.ROB KELLEY (RB, Redskins)Kelley rushed for 87 yards on 21 carries and scored a TD in Week 8, and he may have stolen the starting running back job from Matt Jones in the process. Washingtons schedule is tough after the bye but they have some very favorable matchups during the fantasy playoff weeks, making Kelley a good long-term addition if you have the roster space.TIM HIGHTOWER (RB, Saints)Mark Ingram has fallen out of favor with Saints head coach Sean Payton. Meanwhile, Hightower stole the show this past week with 26 carries for 102 yards. At the very least, Hightower has earned a notable spot in the running back committee that thee Saints are likely to use going forward. Jason Spriggs Super Bowl Jersey. That makes Hightower useful in good matchups like this week at San Francisco.C. J. PROSISE (RB, Seahawks)Prosise was on the field as often as Christine Michael this past week, and hes proven to be much better in the passing game than his counterpart. Thomas Rawls has already been ruled out for Week 9, so Prosise could again see plenty of action. At the very least, he should have some value in point-per-reception leagues.JAMISON CROWDER (WR, Redskins)Crowders been targeted heavily the last two games and was rewarded with over 100 receiving yards in both. The Redskins are on a bye this week, but Crowder should be rostered in all leagues as a favorite target of quarterback Kirk Cousins.QUINCY ENUNWA (WR, Jets)Enunwa has trouble staying healthy but hes healthy now and playing well. He led the Jets in targets and receiving yards in the Week 8 win against the Browns. Hes worth adding for the Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed eight touchdowns to wide receivers this season.J.J. NELSON (WR, Cardinals)It appears that Nelson has displaced Michael Floyd in the Cardinals three wide receiver sets after receiving 19 targets over the last two games. Carson Palmer likes Nelsons speed and ability to get separation downfield. Given some of the favorable matchups after the Week 9 bye, Nelson is a terrific speculative addition in PPR leagues.ERIC EBRON (TE, Lions)Ebron finally returned from the injury list and picked up right where he left off. Look for him to become a favorite of Matt Staffords in the red zone. If he was released on waivers in your league, pick him for use in some very favorable matchups later in the season.CAMERON BRATE (TE, Buccaneers)Brate seems to do best when quarterback Jameis Winston has more than 30 pass attempts. The Bucs play the Falcons in Week 9, a team thats allowed five touchdowns to tight ends this season. There are more favorable matchups ahead so Brate is worth adding if you have a need at tight end.---This column was provided to The Associated Press by the Fantasy Sports Network, http://FNTSY.com ' ' '
