Gophers knock Badgers from women’s Big Ten Tourney

March 2, 2012 By Bill Scott

The Wisconsin Badgers basketball season came to an end in the opening round of the women’s Big Ten Conference Tournament in Indianapolis.

After a start that saw 10 lead chances and three tied scores in the first 10 minutes, Minnesota put together a 14-0 run to take a 31-18 lead with 3:31 remaining in the first half of play. 

A pair of free throws by Morgan Paige with 2:29 left in the half ended Wisconsin’s scoring drought, but the damage had been done and the Badgers were unable to recover.  The Gophers went into halftime with a 39-23 lead.

Wisconsin shot a season-low 27.5% from the field and 25% from three point range.

The Gophers meanwhile hit 50% from the field and 55.6 % from 3-point range.

Fifty of the Gophers’ 81 points came from in the paint.

Taylor Wurtz was the only Badgers in double figures with 13 points.  She also added 5 rebounds.

The Badgers wrapped up their first season under Bobbie Kelsey with a 9-20 record.  Wisconsin finished ninth in the Big Ten at 5’11.
