LAHAINA, Hawaii -- Wisconsins work on the glass has earned the Badgers a shot at the Mau Invitational title.Ethan Happ had 19 points and 15 rebounds, Bronson Koenig scored 20 points and No. 16 Wisconsin overwhelmed Georgetown on the boards in a 73-57 win Tuesday.The Badgers had a 19-1 advantage on offensive rebounds, leading to 20 second-chance points, and a 50-21 edge overall.I dont think were where we need to be or can be anywhere near that yet, Wisconsin coach Greg Gard said. But tonight was definitely a step in the right direction and obviously their rebounding shows the effort part of that, which has always been there.Wisconsin (4-1) used a short burst out of halftime to take control and stayed there behind the inside-out game of Happ and Koenig.The Badgers went 5 for 22 from 3-point range but made up for it inside, outscoring the Hoyas 38-16 in the paint and cleaning up nearly everything that came off the rim.The victory put Wisconsin in Wednesday nights championship game against No. 4 North Carolina, a 107-75 winner over Oklahoma State.I thought everybody did a good job of working hard and trying to get position and just going to the glass every single time, whether they thought it was a make or a miss, everyone went to the glass, Koenig said.Georgetown (2-3) held its own through the first half despite not shooting particularly well. The Hoyas never found their touch in the second half and had no answer for Wisconsins push after the break.LJ Peak led Georgetown with 18 points and Rodney Pryor had 14.We have to get some guys that understand that its not just about points and minutes, and care about all aspects of the game, Hoyas coach John Thompson III said.Neither team shot very well in the first half, except for Koenig and Pryor.Koenig was looking for his shot early, scoring eight quick points. He had 14 at halftime on 5-of-10 shooting to help the Badgers to a 32-29 lead.Pryor, who had 26 points against Oregon, scored 11 on 4-of-8 shooting, including 3 of 5 from beyond the 3-point arc.Wisconsin opened the second half with a brief burst and Koenig banked one in from nearly straight on, pushing its lead to 44-34.The Badgers began to stretch the lead from there, extending it to 53-39 on Charles Thomas putback midway through.Georgetown never made up the difference.They dont beat themselves, Thompson said. You have to go out and find a way to beat them.BIG PICTUREThe Badgers have bounced back nicely from a loss to Creighton with two wins in Maui and can cap it off with the title on Wednesday.The Hoyas put up a fight early, but have work to do if theyre going to compete with teams as talented as Wisconsin.POLL IMPLICATIONSUnless the Badgers get blown out in the title game, their run in Maui should move them up a notch or two in next weeks poll.UP NEXTWisconsin will face the winner between No. 4 North Carolina and Oklahoma State in Wednesdays championship game.Georgetown faces the North Carolina-Oklahoma State loser in the third-place game.

David Justice Jersey . 10 Texas A&Ms offence dominated as usual against SMU. Nick Markakis Jersey .Y. -- Marcell Dareus and the Buffalo Bills defence made life miserable for Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco. ATLANTA -- A fast start through five games? The Atlanta Falcons have been there, blown that.One year ago, the Falcons were 5-0 and appeared certain to land in the playoffs. Instead, they won only three more games for an 8-8 finish in Dan Quinns inaugural season as coach.Now, the Falcons again are leading the NFC South with a 4-1 record. Quinn believes the optimism generated this season is not just another path to a letdown for Atlantas fans.For evidence, the Falcons can point to their ability to find different ways to win. They also can point to back-to-back wins over last seasons Super Bowl teams.It is different, it feels different for us, Quinn said Monday during a conference call. We have a much better way that we reset. We learned a lot from last years start and learned a lot from last years season.Two weeks ago, the Falcons dominated through the air in their 48-33 home win over Carolina. Matt Ryan passed for a team-record 503 yards with four touchdowns, including 300 yards to Julio Jones, a team record for yards receiving in a game.On Sunday, Jones had only two catches for 29 yards, but Atlanta rode strong defense, including a surprising six sacks, to beat the Denver Broncos 23-16. Vic Beasley Jr. had 3 + sacks.Running backs Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman led the offense. Freeman ran for 88 yards with a touchdown and Coleman was the Falcons leading receiver with four catches for 132 yards, including a 31-yard touchdown from Ryan.The Falcons found other ways to score when Denvers defense focused on Jones.The versatility is probably the thing that jumps out to us, Quinn said, notting that running backs, receivers and tight end Jacob Tamme have taken turns as Ryans favorite target.ddddddddddddFor a team coming off a 6-10 record in 2014, last years .500 record was a step up. The problem was 8-8 felt like a big letdown following five straight wins to open the season.Atlanta began this season with a home loss to Tampa Bay, but will take a four-game winning streak into this weeks game at Seattle.We love the style and identity of this years team and the attitude and style we like to play with, Quinn said.For Quinn, it is a return to the city where he served as the Seahawks defensive coordinator under coach Pete Carroll. Quinn was hired by Atlanta before the 2015 season.Quinn said Carroll had a huge impact on me as a coach in a lot of ways. But Quinn was reluctant to say much about his time in Seattle.My biggest focus this week is I want it to be about the guys, he said.Game notes The Falcons flew to Seattle following Sundays win in Denver and will practice at the University of Washington this week. ... Quinn said LBs DeVondre Campbell (ankle) and Deion Jones (ankle) will practice Wednesday after missing the win over the Broncos. Campbell and Jones are rookie starters. We will take all the time we need to determine if they can help us, Quinn said. Backup LB Paul Worrilow (groin) also missed the Denver game and his status for this week remains uncertain.---AP NFL websites: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
