Following a seven-point defeat against the Michigan State Spartans on Feb. 16, Marisa Moseley’s Wisconsin squad (7-19, 4-12 Big Ten) could not keep up with the Ohio State Buckeyes (19-5, 11-4 Big Ten) in a 59-42 loss on Feb. 20.
OSU started hot early, backed by six points from Jacy Sheldon, generating an 8-2 scoring run. But back-to-back three pointers from Julie Pospíšilová and Katie Nelson with just 10 seconds remaining in the opening frame cut the Buckeyes edge to just one heading into the second.
Before the Badgers even knew it, Ohio State’s advantage ballooned to 10 off of four easy looks, three of them assisted.
