No. 15 Wisconsin 103, North Dakota 85: Frank Kaminsky broke a 48-year-old school record by scoring 43 points for the host Badgers in their victory.

Kaminsky, a 7-foot junior forward who averaged 4.2 points for Wisconsin last season, shot 16-for-19 from the field and 6-for-6 from 3-point range en route to breaking the previous mark of 42 set by Ken Barnes in 1965. Sam Dekker contributed 19 points for the Badgers (4-0), who shot 59.3 percent from the floor.

Almost lost in Kaminsky’s effort was that of Troy Huff, who scored a career-high 37 points on 15-for-22 shooting for North Dakota (1-1), hitting 4-of-6 from 3-point range. Jaron Nash added 19 points off the bench.

Huff, the Big Sky Conference scoring leader last season, nailed a 3-pointer that gave North Dakota an early 16-11 lead with 13:11 left in the first half. The Badgers eventually moved ahead 55-45 at the break and continued to pull away in the second half.

Huff, a 6-5 senior wing, scored 26 points in the opening half, while Kaminsky had 21, including 19 in the first 12 minutes. Kaminsky surpassed the 40-point barrier with 6:01 remaining and didn’t take another shot until breaking the school record on another layup with 1:14 left.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Huff’s mother, Theresa, starred for the Wisconsin women’s basketball team from 1979-83 and graduated as the program’s all-time leading scorer (1,879) and rebounder (1,201). … The Badgers allowed a 30-point scorer for the second straight game. Keifer Sykes of Green Bay scored 32 against Wisconsin on Saturday. … Traevon Jackson added 14 points and Ben Brust had 10 for Wisconsin.
