MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Ethan Happ has fans.
Coppin State coach Juan Dixon, for one, has been impressed by the Wisconsin preseason All-American for some time.
An assistant at Maryland, Dixon had the chance to watch Happ early in his career.
"I knew he was going to be a special player," Dixon said. "He was one of my favorite players in the country back then.
"I knew we would have our hands full (with Happ) this time."
D'Mtrik Trice scored 21 points and Brevin Pritzl added 16 for Wisconsin.
Happ recorded the second triple-double in program history with 10 points, 11 rebounds and a career-high 12 assists.
Happ didn't score a basket until the 10:48 mark of the first half. Happ faced double teams nearly every time he touched the ball.
Pritzl capped a 20-2 Badgers run with a 3-pointer that gave Wisconsin a 26-13 lead with 9:37 to go in the first half.
Lamar Morgan scored 15 points, including four 3-pointers for the Eagles, who had 14 turnovers. Taqwain Drummond scored 11 points and had five rebounds.
Chad Andrews-Fulton scored six points, but went to the bench for a spell with his third foul with 17:42 remaining in the game.
Happ joins Josh Gasser with a triple double.
"We've got a lot of shooters and you could kind of tell that was (Coppin State's) game plan to just take me away," Happ said. "It worked out well with having them knock down those shots early."
Wisconsin shot 41 percent, including 14 of 26 in the first half, and outscored Coppin State 17-7 in bench points.
The Badgers shot 37.5 percent from 3-point range, and were paced by Trice, who scored 5 of 9 baskets from long range.
Coppin State: The Eagles aren't afraid of hanging out beyond the perimeter to find an open look. They shot 39 percent from the field from 3-point range, and six different players drained a 3.
Wisconsin: Pritzl scored 16 points off the bench, and reserves contributed 30 points overall. Trice, a point guard who played 10 games last season before breaking his right foot, received a medical hardship waiver for the 2018-19 season.
Wisconsin plays Xavier in the Gavitt Tipoff Games in Cincinnati on Nov. 13. The Musketeers upended the Badgers 80-70 in the tournament last season.
Coppin State travels to Dayton on Saturday, for the second game of an eight-game road trip. The Eagles don't play their first home game until Dec. 3 against Maryland-Baltimore County.

"Jim, it's obvious. You're fired and you're mad," Pirro said.
"You're a liar and you're a leaker. You're pompous, you're egotistical, you're condescending and you violate the very laws you are sworn to uphold because you want to make news because you want to write a book," she added.
Pirro said that Comey's contemporaneous notes do not support his narrative.
Instead, she said they prove Trump encouraged him to investigate the issue of collusion between anyone on the president's campaign and Russia, as well as Christopher Steele's dossier on the president.
She also said the memos show Trump wanted to make sure his administration was free of leaks.
"You didn't have a right to leak that information," she said. "Once you took those memos out of the building to leak to The New York Times, you, James Comey, committed a crime."
Pirro said his memos were not notes to Comey himself, but to other FBI agents. She said there was no investigation into the president, and that Comey wanted to "make himself the protagonist."
"Jim, the FBI's not proud of you," she said.
Pirro added that Comey wanted to change the definition of the law in order to let Hillary Clinton become president.
"You've deceived the American people and, as a result, you -- the director of the FBI -- are under investigation for leaking classified information," she said.

It's a question that can start an instant argument among motorists in the region: Who are D.C.'s worst drivers? The numbers are in.

WASHINGTON — It’s a question that can start an instant argument among motorists in the region: Who are D.C.’s worst drivers?
Some would say it’s the drivers in the District itself; others say motorists from Maryland. Still more would nominate Virginians as the worst terrors behind the wheel.
Well, the numbers are in.
AAA Mid-Atlantic announced on Tuesday the results of a Howard University study of the 29,725 crashes in the District in 2012. The research shows that the District’s drivers narrowly edge out Marylanders for the dubious honor of motorists involved in the most accidents in D.C., 37 percent to 33.1 percent.
Virginia motorists were involved in the fewest District accidents, with 13.8 percent.
The remainder came from other states or was unknown. The study included numbers from 2010 and 2011, which showed the numbers staying fairly consistent, though Maryland was slightly ahead of the District in 2011.
John B. Townsend, of AAA Mid-Atlantic, says that the numbers are particularly striking given that nearly three-quarters of the District’s workforce comes from outside the city.
He adds in a statement that the high rate of accidents leads to an average annual car-insurance premium of $1,800, the highest in the region. And all of these crashes have an economic effect: “The estimated economic and societal impact of motor vehicle crashes in the city was just shy of $1 billion in 2010 or $1,659 per capita,” Townsend says.
The survey also found that men got into nearly two-thirds of accidents in the District in 2012.

Monster Success Doesn't Guarantee "Toy Story 4"
After "Toy Story 3" made $109 million in its opening weekend, it's time to start sifting through the conflicting messages about whether we'll see yet another full edition of the monster Pixar franchise.
Director Lee Unkrich seemed pretty intent on not doing "Toy Story 4," but left plenty of loopholes. It's unlikely he'll ever say never.
"I wanted to end this," Unkrich said at the film's press day. "In my mind this film is the conclusion of Woody and Buzz and the rest of the toys with their relationship with Andy. I feel like we've ended it nicely."
That said, the toys will live on in other projects. Pixar is already working on a short film with the characters. And both Unkrich's words and the film's ending leave the possibility of another chapter.
"People want these characters and love them," said Unkrich. "There will be more of them in the world."
"Whether there's another 'Toy Story,' I have no idea," he added, when pressed.
The folks at Pixar are meticulous about their quality control and don't dilute the brand name in search of the quick extra buck. But they measure the possibilities of a new chapter if the new story passes an intense sniff test. Unkrich said there was even internal resistance to making a "Toy Story 2" after the movie-altering first "Toy Story"
"After we made the first, we had no interest in making a sequel," he said. "We just want to tell an original story."
But if that great story comes in the form of a sequel, as it did then, it's hard to say no. And Pixar has never shown stretch marks on its stories.
"It had nothing to do with an audience wanting a sequel then," Unkrich said of the first. "If you've done your job on the movie they are always going to want to see a sequel. It means they want more of what they love."
"The only reason we did was because we came up with a storyline that we liked.

Transport Canada cleaned up Shuswap Lake; perhaps they will now look at Okanagan Lake and any illegal buoys or docks.
