The #Badgers didn't suffer a letdown game coming off their huge upset win over Michigan State and pounded San Diego into dust on Wednesday afternoon.

Good defense+good rebounding=Wisconsin win

The Wisconsin #Badgers beat the No. 20 Michigan State Spartans on Sunday by 14 points and, quite frankly, that margin of victory is an accurate descriptor of who the better team was!

Full recap and analysis of the huge @BadgerWBB win below.

Important Update: Katie Fiso dropped 14 (!!!) dimes on Wednesday night against Oregon State to up her season average to 7.9 apg (4th best nationally) and her assist rate to 51.6% (2nd best).

Lol, lmao, things of that nature. She's insane!

The #Badgers are off all week so I dug into The Numbers and found a bunch of interesting stats for a bunch of @B1Gwbball players. Read on to find out who has piqued my interest via assist-to-turnover ratios.

Shoutout to @amfphotos_2020 for the picture of the #Badgers there. For some reason I couldn't credit him in the actual post.

Couldn't watch the #Badgers WBB loss to James Madison on Saturday but I was still able to glean a few insights from the box score! And that, friends, is called Doing Journalism.

Time to get in on the ground floor of Wisconsin #Badgers WBB resurgence to, uh, the middle of the Big Ten with extremely comfortable, officially licensed t-shirts from The Good Brand on Cyber Monday.

Does Luke Fickell think Wisconsin's rivalry games are less important because he's an Ohio State guy and The Game is first, second, and third on his list? I try and puzzle through where the #Badgers are heading below.

While I sat at Bank Name Stadium in Minneapolis watching the #Badgers slowly but surely trip over their own feet in their fourth loss to Minnesota in five years I started to wonder: why am I not more upset?

Game recap and existential dread below.

The next time I hear the words "complementary football" out of Luke Fickell's mouth

[Badgers Ball Knower @BadgersBallKnow]

Ah! Well. Nevertheless,

The Wisconsin #Badgers WBB team showed tremendous fight against the No. 13 Ole Miss Rebels on Friday afternoon, but just fell short in their comeback attempt down in Daytona Beach.

Read all about it below!

UW will be right back in action tomorrow against James Madison, who were down 22-4 after the first quarter against Boston College but came back to win by 20 which is, uh, a wild way to play a game.

FINAL SCORE

#Badgers 56
No. 13 Ole Miss 65

Wisconsin mounted a stirring fourth quarter comeback, getting the lead down to two multiple times, but ran out of gas over the final three minutes. A trio of Badgers scored in double figures, led by Destiny Howell's 14 points.

[Badgers Ball Knower @BadgersBallKnow]

Barring a miracle, this one is over as Ole Miss is up 61-54 with 34 seconds left, but the #Badgers once again showed that they are willing and able to compete with anyone.

No such things as moral victories, but this is like, uh, a moral loss or something.

[Badgers Ball Knower @BadgersBallKnow]

HALFTIME UPDATE

#Badgers 24
No. 13 Ole Miss 27

I am not watching the game because I refuse to pay $20 for something called "BallerTV," but it would appear as though Wisconsin is absolutely hanging with the Rebels today.

Love to (kind of) see it!

[Badgers Ball Knower @BadgersBallKnow]

The #Badgers call timeout with 1:56 to go.

Ole Miss is up 56-52. Wisconsin has been battling all day and given the Rebels all they can handle.
