Offensive struggles lead to Badger loss in Bloomington

January 6, 2016 By Bill Scott

Bucky Badger logoThe Wisconsin Badgers managed to score just 24 points in the second half, hitting just 36% from the field, falling to the Indiana Hoosiers 59-58 at Assembly Hall in Bloomington.

Nigel Hayes and Bronson Koenig had 15 points to lead the Badgers, but both struggled shooting.  Hayes hit three-of-13 from the field and Koenig was four-for-12.

The Badgers hit just 16 of their 23 free throw attempts which turned out to be a difference maker.  They hit just four-of-16 three-pointers and 19-of-46 overall from the field.

The Badgers let an opportunity get away, falling to 2-2 under Greg Gard, 1-2 in the Big Ten and 9-7 overall.

Yogi Ferrell had a game-high 19 points, including the go-ahead basket with 37-seconds left and four free throws in the closing seconds to lead the Hoosiers to their eighth straight win and a 3-0 start in Big Ten play.

The Badgers return to Madison and will host Maryland on Saturday at the Kohl Center.
