The Wisconsin Badger women’s basketball team is still looking for its first Big Ten victory of the season.

The Badgers fell to 8th ranked Penn State 84-40, their largest losing margin since falling at No. 10 Purdue 93-45 on March 6, 1994.

The Nittany Lions (14-2, 4-0 Big Ten) jumped out to an 11-0 lead and never looked back.  Wisconsin didn’t get on the board until Nicole Bauman hit a 3-pointer at the 15:35 mark of the first half.

The Badgers (8-10, 0-5) turned the ball over 17 times in the first half.

Morgan Paige had 14 points to lead Wisconsin, which shot just 26.4% from the field.

The Badgers return home Sunday to host Ohio State (2pm) at the Kohl Center.
