Just a week ago, the Ohio State Buckeyes (14-14, 10-8 Big Ten) marched into the Kohl Center and handed the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team (15-17, 4-14) a 61–50 defeat. The Badgers’ 50 points were tied for their fourth-worst scoring outing on the season.
Thursday afternoon, however, Wisconsin notched 51 points in the second half alone en route to a 73–63 win over the Buckeyes.
Seniors Kelly Karlis and Marsha Howard prolonged their careers at least another day with mammoth scoring efforts, chipping in 24 and 23 points, respectively. Head coach Jonathan Tsipis praised his seniors’ efforts after the win.
