ST. THOMAS, Virgin Islands, Nov. 22 (UPI) -- Trevon Hughes scored 22 points Friday and No. 22 Wisconsin never trailed in overtime while pulling out a 60-58 win over Iona.

The Badgers built an early nine-point lead, but could not shake the Gaels. Wisconsin had to have a jump shot by Marcus Landry with 32 seconds remaining in regulation just to get into overtime.

Iona had two shots in the final 15 seconds of regulation bounce off the rim.

Tim Jarmusz gave the Badgers the lead 1:21 into overtime with a jump shot, but Wisconsin could build no more than a three-point advantage in the extra period.

Wisconsin's Jason Bohannon missed two free throws with 7 seconds to go in overtime, leaving the Badgers with a two-point lead. Iona was unable to get its final shot to drop.

Wisconsin improved to 3-0 and Iona fell to 1-1.
