Hoosiers drop halftime lead, fall in second half to Badgers

You win some and you lose some.\nJust one week ago, the IU women's basketball team snapped a five-game losing streak against Wisconsin, beating the Badgers 83-56. But last night, the Badgers got their revenge on their home court, taking a 60-53 win against IU.\nThe Hoosiers (15-10, 4-8 Big Ten) started out the game sluggish, falling behind 13-2. But IU was able to catch up and take a 19-17 lead into halftime behind eight points from freshman guard Jamie Braun.\n"We just kept playing defense and working hard," IU coach Felisha Legette-Jack said. "Just by osmosis if you shoot enough shots it should go in the hole."\nIU and Wisconsin stayed neck-and-neck throughout the second half. With two minutes left, the Badgers held a 49-48 lead, and they extended it with a 3-point shot. After a Hoosiers turnover, two Wisconsin free throws sealed the game.\n"You can't give 17 turnovers against a great team like Wisconsin," Legette-Jack said. "We're going to learn the lessons and get better from it."\nGuard Jolene Anderson led the Badgers with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Anderson scored 23 points in the Hoosiers' first game against the Badgers. These numbers were similar to those Legette-Jack saw when she coached Anderson for the USA U-19 national team.\n"That's the type of number the whole Big Ten can expect from her," Legette-Jack said. "She's the second leading scorer in our conference with 18 a pop. Any given day against any given team, she's going to score points."\nThe Hoosiers travel to Minneapolis, Minn., on Sunday to take on the Golden Gophers. IU defeated Minnesota 69-65 on Feb. 4.
