No 13-seed has ever made it to the quarterfinals of the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament.
Well, at least not until Thursday.
Fresh off of a revenge win over Penn State, the Wisconsin Badgers shocked the Big Ten by knocking off No. 5 seed Ohio State in a 73-63 win.
Down 32-22 at halftime, it looked like the Badgers’ season was over against the much higher seeded Buckeyes. Ohio State outscored Wisconsin (15-17) 17-10 in the second quarter thanks to UW’s 20 percent field goal shooting.
The Badgers woke up in the second half via blazing three-point shooting and solid defense.
