Ryan Evans scored 13 points and Traevon Jackson added 11 to help the unranked Badgers beat the 2nd ranked Indiana Hoosiers 64-59.  It ended Indiana’s 6-game win streak and their 18-game home court win streak.

The Badgers (13-4, 4-0 Big Ten) are the first team since 1923 to win 5-straight games in Bloomington.  They held the Hoosiers, who are averaging 87.1 points a game, to their season low point total.

Indiana’s Cody Zeller had 18 points in the first half, hitting all 8-shots from the field.  The Badgers shut him down in the second half.  Zeller hit just 1 of 7 after the break and finished with 23 points.

The Badgers were better at the free throw line as well.  They entered the game hitting 61.4% as a team but went 11 of 14 (78.6%) in this win.
