Wisconsin women’s basketball: mistakes cost Badgers in 88-83 OT loss to Minnesota

Despite a second half comeback and sharp shooting, the Wisconsin Badgers (0-4 Big Ten, 3-4 overall) errors proved costly against the Minnesota Golden Gophers (1-3 Big Ten, 2-4 overall) as they fell in overtime, 88-83, in the annual Border Battle.

The Badgers started off slowly, giving Minnesota a 22-11 cushion after the first quarter. Wisconsin struggled early with turnovers — so far a theme of the season — and finished the half down 11.

In the third quarter, UW started the comeback and were on fire from the field. The Badgers shot 58 percent including 53 percent from beyond the arc.
