Speaker 1 (00:01):
On the Vegers Sports Network from near Field. This is
Wisconsin Vedgers Women's Basketball. Hi Post Williams fadeaway.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Fifteenth quarter is through Douglas, Doctor one. Douglas loops it
up in the free throw line and it's good on

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Wisconsin Women's Basketball. He's broke to you by a Lion Energy.
Alliant Energy is powering beyond for you and by you.
W Health Sports Medicine, treating the Badgers, treating you. Welcome
to the Veger pregame Show. Here's the voice of Wisconsin
women's basketball, John Adius.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
We're just five games left in the Big Ten season.
The Wisconsin Badgers are fighting for a spot in the
Big Ten Tournament. So far Wisconsin is in at the
season and today, but at two and eleven in conference play,
nothing's been decided yet. And tonight it's a top twenty
five opponent up next to the Badgers, phase twenty second
ranked at eight and four, Michigan State. It's time for

(01:02):
Bucky versus Sparty. It's time for Badgers basketball, and coming
up on tonight's pregame show will get a scout of
the Michigan State Spartans with assistant coach Jamie Gleasing to
look inside the Badgers and the Badger Notebook, quick spin
around the Big Ten. Some games going on in the
conference tonight. That's in a little bit later, but up
next here from Wisconsin head coach Marissa Mosley. That's next,

(01:23):
and this is Badger's Basketball from Learfield. Badgers are getting
set to take on the Michigan State Spartans, now joined
by Wisconsin head coach Marissa Mosley. Coach. As we wind
down the Big Ten season, which is a handful of
games remaining, where do you see the biggest growth in

(01:45):
the team as a whole, from perhaps the start of
the Big Ten to where we are now?

Speaker 3 (01:50):
I would say probably.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
I don't know that it's been of late that you
probably have seen it, but I definitely think that we
have figured out what works when we're playing really well
together with this group, and I think that took us
some portion of the Big Ten. I think once we
kind of hit that West Coast swing, we really started
to figure out how to mesh well together and use

(02:16):
all the pieces that we have and so being able
to have, you know, our inside attack and then also
our three point shooters as you and I have chatted before,
and you know, I think we've figured out some stuff
with our press a little bit, being able to kind
of put pressure on people, and so I think that's
where we've seen the most growth.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
Now knew this year in the Big Ten conferences, obviously
four more teams were added. Is that the top fifteen
out of the eighteen teams in the in the league
make the conference tournament. So I guess my question is,
as a staff, is there any communication about that with
the team? And the reason I ask is just I
feel like it almost kind of creates like a type
of postseason urgency for certain teams in that position. Do

(02:57):
you guys ever talk about like the push to the
Big Ten tournament?

Speaker 4 (03:02):
Oh, yeah, we've from day one, we first of all,
we did in form them because this is new, so
we you know, let them know that this is a
new thing this year, that it's not kind of everybody
goes I said it has been the past with the fourteen.

Speaker 5 (03:16):
And then also you know, we.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Continue to talk about kind of at the start of
after non conference to start a conference, but also midway
through the conference and just understanding, uh that that's what
we're fighting for. Right now and put ourselves in a
position that once you get there, it's a clean.

Speaker 3 (03:34):
Slate and everyone zero zero again.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
And so I think our players understand the urgency of
that and understand that that's what we're fighting for.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
All right, Well, best to luck tonight against Michigan State.
And thanks for the time.

Speaker 4 (03:47):
All right, thanks so much, John.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
All Right, that said, coach and Marissa, mostly we will
get a scout of the Spartan's coming up next. This
is Badger's basketball from Liarfield went East Lanting, ready to
take on the Michigan State Spartans, now joined by Bacheer's
assistant coach Jamie Gleasing. Michigan State second leading scoring team
in the Big Ten. What makes them so successful offensively

(04:13):
this season?

Speaker 6 (04:15):
I mean they work to score quickly in transition, so
I think their press helps them score a lot of
those points because they create those turnovers and that just
creates easy offense for them and really gets them going.
But then in the half court, they have a lot
of capable scorers, and then after their top two leading scores,
you know, they're pretty balanced, so they've got a lot
of people that can contribute.

Speaker 2 (04:34):
You talk about that that press, they lead the conference
in steels as well. Is that all interrelated there and
what do you have to be ready for in that
area of the game.

Speaker 5 (04:44):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (04:44):
Absolutely, I mean in the full court, that's where it
all starts, so they're trying to turn you over there,
but then it continues into the half court as well.
They're really aggressive there and passing lanes in the gaps
and stuff like that. But we've been working a lot
on breaking the press break. It's going to be really
important for ours success today just because of how aggressive
they are. But there's definitely ways that you can use
that against them now.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
The last time Wisconsin played at Michigan State, it was
a couple of seasons ago, Sarah Williams had a career
day she was a freshman. Then at Badger's won as well.
But obviously that's a different time, different players on each
side too. But is there anything there for a player
when they do have success in a certain place against
a certain team. Can that be something that gives for example, Williams,
I mean, obviously she's confident because she's so dominant otherwise,

(05:27):
but is that maybe a little bit of extra boost
of confidence for players?

Speaker 6 (05:31):
No, definitely, I mean you don't forget your that's a
great performance or a bad one. And so she definitely
remembers how she played her freshman year here. And then
it also showed the last year that we played at
our place against Michigan State, they were refusing to try
to let that happen again and they sent basically.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Four to Sarah.

Speaker 6 (05:49):
So Michigan State tried to counteract to what it happened here
a few years ago. But definitely she has that confidence
going into it knowing how she's performed.

Speaker 3 (05:58):
Here in the past.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Well, best of luck tonight, Thanks for the time, Thank you.
All right, that's assistant coach Jamie Gleasing. We'll be back
with the Badger's Notebook next. And this is Badger Basketball
from Learfield Now. Welcome back. Pre game show continues the
Badger's Face twenty second ranks of Michigan State time with
the Badgers Notebook. Wisconsin comes in with an eleven and
thirteen overall record, two and eleven into Big Ten, and

(06:22):
they're currently in the fourteen spot in the Big Ten standings,
in a tie with Rutgers, also with a two and
eleven record, although the Badgers do have that head to
head over Rutgers, so Wisconsin if the season ended today,
would make the Big Ten Tournament. Meanwhile, this series against
Michigan State has gone the Spartan's way overall. Wisconsin just
the twenty seven and fifty two record against MSU all time,

(06:44):
and Michigan State has won eighteen of the last twenty
in this series. I'll take a break and come back
and take a quick spin around the Big Ten. Next,
this is Badger basketball from Deerfield, Wisconsin. He said to
take you on number twenty two in Michigan State. It's
not real quick. It's been around Big Ten. One of
four Big Ten games in action later tonight, seven and

(07:05):
six Oregon hosts of five and seven Washington Huskies. It's
Michigan at home at eight and five, and the Big
Ten hosting seven and five Indiana and then one. Batcher
fans are gonna want to watch one and eleven Purdue
fases one in ten Northwestern. The reason that I bring
that up is because right now Wisconsin Rutgers each have
two conference wins, Northwestern and Purdue. One of those teams

(07:25):
will join the Badgers in Scarlett Knights with two conference wins.
After tonight, we'll take a break come back with the
starting lineups and the opening tip off. It's the Badgers
and the Spartan's next. This is Wisconsin Badger basketball from Deerfield. Hey,
welcome back. The Badgers are in East Lansing taking on

(07:46):
the Wisconsin or taking on the Michigan State Spartans. As
Michigan State starts the first quarter with a layup down low.
It's two nothing MSU. Michigan States ranks number twenty two.
The nation now is steel and a layup at midcourt.
Jocelyn Tate with the steal and she finishes around the basket.

(08:07):
Four nothing Michigan State. As we're just underway here opening quarter.
That pressure right there put on by the Spartans Badger's
break at this time inside of Sarah Williams. Two points
down low for Williams. She's Wisconsin's leading scorer at about
nineteen points per game this season. That's third best in
the Big Ten. It's a four to two Michigan State
start here in East Lansing. In the corner, a three

(08:30):
ball is missed by MSU. As the Badgers pick up
the miss and Natalie Leitzinger crosses mid court for Wisconsin,
passes off to a right and this is Tess Myers
trying to three. No good offensive rebound down load by McCrae.
She'll go up. That one's no good and a Ralt
grabs it for MSU. Spartan's push it left to right

Now the Badgers have numbers five on three as two
Spartans collided on that last possession, and now we've got
a walk. We're checking an offensive fowl called against Carter McCrae.

(09:15):
Mccraye called for the offensive foul, so that gives the
ball back to Michigan State. Eighteen and five overall this season,
they're eight and four in the Big Ten. Coming off
the lost to Michigan, the Badgers two and eleven in
Big Ten play. Here's a reverse lay up that falls off.

on the ground for the Badgers trying to corral that one.
Now Wisconsin comes in eleven and thirteen and in the
fourteenth spot in the Big Ten standings with a two

recently I lost to Illinois. Now with Field had a
layout umping in by Jada Simmons, and Michigan State leads

the Badgers, taking the ball away three steals already in
the first couple of minutes. Seven p forty six to play.
Here in the first quarter, six to two, Michigan State

enters for Leitzinger. So one fifth year player out, another
grand student fifth year player in. And this is Douglas

the paint, runner off the window, no good. Williams crashing
the offensive glass has it on the baseline for the
Badgers to Myers left corner. Myers feeds it back inside

This is Badger basketball from Learfield. Hey, Maager fans, get

(27:44):
ready for Wisconsin women's basketball and a wide out on Sunday,
Febuary twenty third, with the Badgers host Northwestern at two pm,
where your Badger's gear and Ryan Purt to celebrate Senior
Day to kens at UW Badgers dot com. That's gonna
be a big game. Four Wisconsin. The Badgers are eight
and five at home this season, so they have success

(28:05):
at the Coal Center and they're gonna need that one
against Northwestern. Looking at the Big Ten standings right now,
top fifteen teams make the Big Ten Tournament. Wisconsin is
in a tie with Rutgers at two and eleven, but
the Badgers have that head to head, so they're in
the fourteen spot. Rutgers in the fifteen. Then it's Northwestern
at one and ten, Purdue it at one and eleven,
and Penn State at one and twelve. Will get a

(28:26):
little bit more clarity after tonight because in about five
minutes or so, Northwestern and Purdue meat so one of
those teams will come out of that game tonight with
their second conference win. That'll leave Rutgers Wisconsin. We'll see
what happens here tonight, but Rutgers in Wisconsin also with
two wins currently and either Purdue or Northwestern, and then
like I said, the Badgers will take on the Wildcats

(28:47):
coming up on the twenty third, so that one will
be a big one for the Badgers and they're pushed
to the Big Ten tournament. Here is Porter starting for
the Badgers here tonight, second quarter, six forty to go.
In this second quarter, twenty point MSU lead. Porter on
a drive, lost the basketball. I think she was either

(29:09):
trying to get it out to Myers in the corner
or maybe go for a shot, but kind of squirts
out of her hands and goes out of bounds on
the baseline. They give it to Michigan State. Spartan's leading
by twenty MSU baul six twenty eight to play. Second quarter.
Here's Tate left wing driving in on Myers, lost the
basketball stolen by Krawn on the baseline, left hand pass

(29:31):
up the left sideline, Porter front court, Porter jump pass
over to Myers, zips it inside. Here's Sarah Williams, two
Spartans around her, now three kicking out to Kron. How
about a three, Yes, Lily Krawn connects from downtown left
side three by Krawn, the assist by Williams. The whole
Michigan State defense collapsed around Williams and it's Krawan connecting

(29:54):
for three. Now a drive in by Hallick gives it
up to Tate, lost it bomb that gathers it tries
at three in the left corner. No, Williams tracks it
down for Wisconsin. Five boards now for Sarah Williams. Front
court for the Badgers, thirty five to eighteen Michigan State
five forty in counting in the second quarter, Crawn to

(30:15):
Douglas outside the arc, down deep on the right to Williams. No,
but a ball called against a Rault who was defending
Sarah Williams. Back to Lily kran for a moment. Krawan
the five to ten junior from Prairie Dushen, Wisconsin, averaging
about seven and a half points per game. And Kroan
has really come on for this Badger's team. It started

(30:36):
in the Maryland game in early January when she went
for a career high sixteen points at five threes. Here's
Williams free throw, it's in and she followed that one
up and by the way, Maryland at the time of
top ten team. She followed that up against another top
ten team with another sixteen points. Next free throw up
and in from Sarah Williams. Although Krawan hasn't gone for

(30:57):
double figures since the twenty ninth against Michigan, when she
connected on four to threes and scored fourteen points. Just
eight total points over the last three games for Krawn,
so it's good to see that last three pointer go
thirty five to twenty Michigan State lead. In the ball
five twenty four to play second quarter. By the way,
Williams checks out eleven points, five rebounds. So William's now

(31:18):
ten straight games in double bigger scoring on top a rock.
The fite by Douglas are driving a kick out to
the right side. Sotello's slices through the middle of the
paint scores with the left hand, and so Tello has
gotten closer and closer now to double figures. Nine points
for her, seventeen point MSU lead, McCray right block working

(31:39):
on Sotello, I'll put the right hand off the window.
Two points for Carter McCrae, and McCrae has now gone
up to eight points tonight, thirty seven to twenty two
Michigan State lead, and the basketball McCray has scored in
double figures three of her last four games and on
the verge of doing so tonight so Tello launches for three,

(32:00):
clangs off the back rim, no good, and it's secured
by McCrae. That's her fourth rebound. Porter front court for Wisconsin. Badgers.
Junior gives it up to Myers, throws to the left,
that's caught by Douglas. Douglas driving in from the left,
bounces to McCrae and the paint. Now it's loose on
the floor. McCray is tied up possession arrow to Wisconsin

(32:26):
thirty seven two. Michigan State leading the Badgers right now
by fifteen. They've led by as many as twenty points
in this game, although Wisconsin's on a seven to two run.
Sets that twenty point lead. Myers catches the inbounds pass
with under ten on the shot clock, Porter left wing

(32:48):
working on a roll Porter in the paint porter a
high float or no good, fighting for her miss. It's
picked up by McCray out to Krawn. She'll try for
three and it's in. Krawn from the rightside hits the
three pointer for Wisconsin, and Krawn has her second three
pointer of the game, thirty seven to twenty five. The

(33:08):
Badgers now down by just twelve three forty six to go.
Second quarter, Ampton on a drive and Kron steps in
front of that pass and comes away with the steal.
Turnover Michigan State front court for the Badgers. Krawn's coming
out defensively and offensively right now for the Badgers. Let's

(33:31):
see if Wisconsin can keep shipping away to the two
would make it a ten point game. They could get
it to single digits with the three Myers right corner.
Three ball is in protest. Myers. Myers pulls Wisconsin to
within nine three oh nine to play here, second quarter

(33:55):
Michigan State ball. Here is Tate rolled on top right side,
Hallick a drive. They pass it back out Hampton for three.
It is short, it is going to bounce out of bounds.
It'll be Wisconsin ball. The Badgers are on an eights

(34:16):
nothing run, big run here by Wisconsin in the second quarter.
Over the last two minutes or so, Badgers are cutting
into this Michigan State lead, which was at twenty at
thirty five to fifteen, and we'll see what Wisconsin can

(34:48):
do on this possession. Trailing by nine points to forty
five to go before the half. Here's Porter top of
the arc leaves a decron a three on the left
no good rebound Williams down though she'll go up. That's
no good but a foul, and so Sarah Williams will
have a chance at the free throw line to cut

(35:11):
this down to a seven point game if she makes
two free throws. Williams now has her tenth straight game
scoring in double figures tonight. She's reached the double figure
mark here in the first half rethrow up and in
for Williams. By the way over her last nine coming

(35:33):
into tonight's game, twenty point two points per game to
zero point two. Next one will roll around a couple
of times and fall through two with the line for Williams,
she's got thirteen, seven point deficit. It's a ten to nothing.
Batcher's run inside Van Sloot and a hook around the

(35:55):
restricted arc half hook and it drops. So that was
a ten nothing with Johnson run that brought them to
within seven. Michigan State comes back leads by nine. Williams
double team fines mccran in the paint, lost the basketball steel.
Hampton spins it up ahead front court Halleck and transition
layup through Hallick makes the layup forty one thirty and

Has Lebron been a basketball player that you've looked up
to or maybe who are some of those athletes that
you've looked up to growing up?

Speaker 7 (43:01):

But they shot sixty three percent in the first right

(56:08):
now sixty three percent in the third. Overall in this game,
they're just a shade under sixty percent as a team
from the field. That's going to be tough to beat anybody,
and the opposition is shooting sixty percent basically. The Badgers
meanwhile up above their season average tonight, so they're doing
it pretty well offensively forty six percent from the floor

Batchers turned it over. You know Douglas. Oh, she lost
it on the sideline. It was defended by Michigan State.

(59:05):
Poked free and then Douglas tried to dribble it again,

Rutgers at two and eleven Moost are teams right now
in if the Big Ten Tournament started today, Northwestern, Purdue,
and Penn State all out all with one win, and

(01:01:49):
checking the Big Ten scoreboard, Northwestern and Purdue one of
those teams will leave tonight with win number two, and
right now at the half, it's the Boilermakers thirty five Northwestern.
Remember Perdue does have the tiebreaker over Wisconsin. Although there'd
be a three way tie, you'd have to go into
a three way tie breaking procedure, and I don't have

(01:02:10):

this lead in this run. Here's a drive in from

three pointers, which was a precursor to a Badger's ten
to oh run. Here's Krown with our ATC smart play
of the game. Here's Sarah Williams two sparts around her

the three point arc the Badgers a total of four
to three pointers made tonight, So she's got three of
the four nine points for Krown. Wisconsin's led by another
twenty point game from Sarah Williams, as she is seven
of twelve from the field, six of eight from the
free throw line, and Williams has eight points to lead
the Badger's charge. Carter McCrae has twelve, and then for

(01:08:15):
Michigan State, four players in a very balanced scoring load.
For Robin Freelik's team, four players in double figures, led
by the eighteen points from Farren Halleck. Then it's seventeen

Shoemate launches again from deep, that's no good, and finally
Williams picks it up for the Badgers, Michigan State getting
shot after shot here on that first possession of quarter

Mccraye trying to catch a pass. It's bobbled. It's been flockhorn.

Ten with thirteen steals a game. A Ralt gits a
three from the right side. The leading scorer this season

for Michigan State is Julia ay Ralt, although a Ralt
fifteen point eight points per game. A Ralt tonight, that's
her first field goal comes with about nine minutes to
play in the game. Crash for three from the left corner.
That's no good rebound Wisconsin and Williams. And she's followed
by Van Sluton. So the Batchers have shut down a

(01:09:47):
Ralts just one of three, but like I said, four
others Spartans and double fakers. And this is a Michigan
State team, by the way, a Michigan State team that
is eighteen and five this season and eighty four in
the Big Ten. And they score a lot of points.
Second leading scoring team in the Big Ten. Badgers come

(01:10:07):

(01:16:46):
really well from the field fifty seven percent in the
game and Michigan State seventy nine fifty nine over the Badgers,
who are forty eight percent from the floor. So the
Badger shoot pretty well themselves. Oh, it's Krawn strong drive
in the paint, kicks to Porter right corner. Porter flips
it up right of the pain and it falls seventy

(01:17:07):
nine sixty one MSU leading the ball five ten to

a career high. If she can make a free throw,

(01:17:35):
well check it. She is at her career high now
with seventeen points. Free throw is no good, so she's
already got her her career high. Rather, after that layup
twenty point MSU lead eighty one sixty one hundred five
minutes to play in the game, Kraun left wing, lowers
her head, drives in, stop, brings it back out with

(01:17:57):
the past the Bisball, biz Ball, Nott. The pre throw
line jumper is up and in there's Ali Bisball. You
might have heard some extra noise there wondering why she's
getting cheers at Michigan State. She's from Lake City, Michigan.
There's a ball deflected by the Badgers and then Williams

(01:18:19):
lost it on the baseline or did she Oh, I
thought that was off Williams. Now they're going to say
it'll be Badgers basketball. Eighty one sixty three Michigan State.
Four and a half minutes to go. So bis Ball

(01:18:43):
has four points. Now that ties her season in career
high and now on whistle on the other side as
Michigan State tries to set up its offense. I'm sorry,
is it Wisconsin? Do I say Michigan State? It will

(01:19:10):
be Bacher's basketballs Wisconsin tried to set up its offense,
is what I was trying to say. Eighty one sixty
three batchers with the basketball. Here's Porter, Porter in the
paint on a drive, spirts it out to the left
side of Krawn, skips it over to grass near side,
out on top to Bisball, Bizball, a drive and a
block by Sotellos. Bisball falls hard to the floor. What

(01:19:38):
the batchers will be in the free throw line? Bizball
six points? If she can get two free throws, that
would be a new career high. And that one's up
and in so new career high five points for Allie baseball.

(01:20:04):
Make it six there, it is career high for the freshman.
But Michigan State on top on the scoreboard, eighty one
to sixty five with three fifty seven to go in
this game, Ball loose on the floor. Now who has it?
Sarah Williams has it? And now Krawn is down in
the backcourt as they stop play. Kraan being helped up,

(01:20:30):
but she looks to be hurt right now, I don't
know if it's a left leg. She can't put a
lot of weight. It looks like on her left leg.
And now Krawn's going to be or is it a
right I can't tell right now. Let's take a look

(01:20:55):
at what happened though, and watching a replay, Krawn collided
with Blair and then immediately kind of crumpled down to
the court. And now she's being helped to the bench.
It's tough to see, is Koran It's gonna go to

(01:21:19):
the end of the bench now holding her right knee.
It's her right Kneet Krawan, the junior from Prairie Duchen, Wisconsin,
nine points on three of five three points shooting tonight,

sixty seven Michigan State with the big lead here in
the fourth quarter, three ten to go. They've had as
large as a twenty seven point lead in this game. Now, well,
whistle as the Badgers bring to the front court and
a foul called against MSU. So yeah, Michigan State has

(01:23:13):
led by as many as twenty seven right now, it's
just at seventeen and that'll be team foul number six
and the Badgers are in the bonus and Allie Bisball
back to the pre throw line and she cannot connect
on that one. Bizbal the freshman as I mentioned from
Lake City, Michigan. Phenomenal addition according to head coach Marissa Mosley,

(01:23:38):
and the next one falls for biz Ball, so she
continues on with her career high. She's got seven points tonight.
She had all of eight points coming into the game.
Eight points and thirteen games this season. Michigan State Ball
Halleck outside left, Hallick working on light Singer Paul Loose

Run through the final numbers for you here. Also listen
to some highlights. We'll check the Big ten scoreboard ill
actually see if I get to Big Ten scoreboard update
here in just a moment. This is one of four
games teams tonight. Three are underway as we speak. Two

(01:25:04):
minutes of play here for the Badgers and East Lansing
eighty six to sixty eight MSU Hampton to Blair on
the right wing, Patty Banla defense love it inside back
out to Blair, left of center to a Ralt download
and left to the corner wide open. Kiboll gets the
three point shot from the corner. Eighty nine sixty eight

(01:25:27):
Michigan State one forty to go in this game, all
right elsewhere third quarter, The one the Badgers fans should
be watching is It's now a twelve point lead for
Purdue over Northwestern forty five thirty three Perdue looking for
its second Big Ten win of the season. Badgers two
and eleven, Perdue one and eleven. So Purdue hangs on

(01:25:49):
to beat Northwestern. That would put Rutgers, Wisconsin, and Purdue
all with a two and eleven record in the Big Ten.
That's three teams for two spots in the Big Ten tournament.
Patty Bandlift for the Badgers outside left fires and sidecock
by viz Ball goes up missed it down deep on
the left, rebound by MSU and picked up by Sotello.

(01:26:11):
A minute ten to go in this one. The other
game going on right now in the third it's Michigan
thirty nine, Indiana thirty five. That one in ann Arbor.
Sotello left baseline on a drive, kicking it out right side.
She may catch us out of the corner. Here's a
drive and a flipped up by Sotello. No, but right
there to grab the mist and put it up and in.

(01:26:31):
On the right is Kennedy Blair. Fifty one seconds to
play in this game. Ninety one sixty eight MSU front
court for the Badgers. Under a minute to go in

(01:26:53):
this one. Right now, it's a twenty three point Michigan
State lead drive in Patty Bama as it left of
the paint, kicks it out Leisinger's open three top of
the key, and it's in down to twenty with twenty
seven seconds to play. Too little, too late, but the

(01:27:15):
Badgers do hit their fifth three pointer of the game,
as Michigan State will dribble this out with eighteen seconds
to go, and the Badgers are going to fall to
eleven and fourteen overall. And now two and twelve in
the Big Ten, Michigan State will move to nineteen and
five overall and pick up their ninth Big Ten win.

(01:27:40):
Now nine and four. Final buzzer sounds and the Badgers
fall on the road to a top twenty five team
number twenty two. Michigan State wins it by twenty. Final
score from the President Center, Michigan State ninety one Wisconsin
seventy one. And coming up on the postgame show, Like
I said, we'll run through these final numbers, team and

(01:28:00):
the individual plus we come back, I believe, will be
joined by Wisconsin head coach Marissa Mosley. Postgame show comes
your way in a couple of minutes, and this is
Badger basketball in the Clearfield. Postgame show is underway. John
Audius with you. Final score from East lamseed Michigan State
ninety one Wisconsin seventy one. Now joined by Wisconsin head

(01:28:22):
coach Marissa Moseley to talk a little bit about this one. Coach,
when you when you look back at this, what what
do you think was was the difference overall in the game?

Speaker 5 (01:28:34):
Well, I think, sorry, is that echoey? I just moved
into a state. I think our transition, you know, the
transition buckets that he's got a bunch of easy runouts.
I think that was a huge part of their success tonight.
And it's also being in mode to not control contain
that dribble drive penetration. And they got downhill. I mean

(01:28:56):
they average I think seven three is a game, so
they had to eat. But it's definitely to being able
to get downhill and kind of get to the room
at will without any restrictions.

Speaker 2 (01:29:06):
Yeah, and that probably leads to, you know, fifty nine
percent shooting. Now your team shoots forty nine percent, which
is above the season ARA is a pretty good number.
But I would say just the rate at which Michigan
State was able to score was was probably a factor too.
How'd you see that?

Speaker 5 (01:29:22):
Yeah, I mean I think you know, they moved the
ball pretty quickly and we're able to get open shots.
I think you know, it was at some point we
were treating baskets and when you're down maybe you know,
twelve thirteen, fourteen points to treat baskets there, we had
to really be able to put some stops good. I
think we had a little run there. It was like

(01:29:43):
a six zero might have been the side of the
fourth quarter, but then they came kind of came back,
and you know, we just didn't we couldn't put enough together.

Speaker 2 (01:29:52):
Yeah, unfortunately too. We see Lily Kron, head of the bench,
laid earlier. Is she how she feeling? Do you think
right now?

Speaker 5 (01:30:00):
I didn't get a chance to get an update on her,
so I don't have any news on that, but hopefully
wasn't anything too serious.

Speaker 2 (01:30:08):
Final question for you. We saw Ali Bisball come into
tonight eight points and thirteen games. She plays ten minutes
and scores seven points tonight. Can you talk about her
contributions and her playing time tonight?

Speaker 5 (01:30:20):
Yeah, you know, really proud of Ali. She's been putting
a lot of work in with our assistant coach bro
and you know, she is hungry and wants to keep
working at it. And I think it's your testament to
her doing that and it was great to see. And
she's from Michigan, so it was great for her family
to be able to see her do that as well.

Speaker 2 (01:30:38):
Thanks for the time, coach.

Speaker 5 (01:30:40):
Okay, thank you, John?

Speaker 2 (01:30:41):
Are there? You go? That's head coach Marissa Mosley. The
Badgers fall on the road ninety one seventy one to
Michigan State, A break and we'll come back and look
at the team numbers. Next, this is Badger's basketball from
their field. John Audius with you. Badger's fall in East
Lansing ninety one to one to twenty second ran to

(01:31:02):
Michigan State. Spartans led by as many as twenty seven
points in this game, and the Badgers never led in
the game. Michigan State wins it and improves to nine
to four in the Big Ten. Badgers falled two to
twelve in Big Ten play. Was an eleven point MSU
lead after the first quarter. They shot sixty three percent

(01:31:22):
in the first quarter. Badgers did get nine points from
Sarah Williams along with four rebounds. MSU took as big
as a twenty seven point lead in the second quarter.
Badgers were able to cut that down. However, wait, I
think I said that wrong. Did they lead by twenty seven?
Led by twenty excuse me? As big as a twenty

(01:31:43):
point lead in the second quarter. Wisconsin was able to
get back on track. Both teams scored seventeen in the
quarter and it was an eleven point lead at the half.
Third quarter it was a big one for MSU, outscoring
the Badgers twenty nine to sixteen, they'd take the lead
going into the final courts are at seventy two to
forty eight, and then Michigan State and wins up wins

(01:32:05):
it by twenty after being outscored twenty three to nineteen,
though in that final quarter by Wisconsin. Team wise, Badgers
shoots forty nine percent from the four twenty eight to
fifty seven. They were five nineteen from the three point line. Meanwhile,
Michigan State fifty nine percent from the field and eight
of twenty two from the three point arc thirty six percent.
There At the free throw line, Michigan State just took

(01:32:28):
eight of towns five of eight sixty two percent. The
Badger's got their fifteen times made ten free throws sixty
seven percent. Badgers win the battle of the boards thirty
two to twenty seven offensive rebounds eleven to eight four
Wisconsin second chance points batchers lead there as well. Thirteen
to eight team assists thirty one assists for Michigan State tonight.

(01:32:49):
That's a really really big number. Badgers have a really
big number two with twenty five assists as a team.
I have to double check that might be that might
be a season high. Give me a moment to see
if I can try that down. But twenty five assists
for the Badgers, TONI, that's a really good number for Wisconsin.
Turnovers nineteen for the Batchers, thirteen for Michigan State. Points

(01:33:12):
off turnovers plus six for the Spartans. At twenty seven
to twenty one, Spartins had eleven steals. Batchers came away
with ten of them, block seven for MSU, two for
Wisconsin on the fast break, plus eight for Michigan State
at nineteen to eleven. Points in the paint, big difference here,
Sixty points in the point paint, six zero for Michigan State,
forty points in the paint for the Badgers, and the

(01:33:35):
twenty five assists, by the way, are a season high
for Wisconsin. Here tonight in the losing effort, So once
again Batcher's never led, Michigan State wins it by seventy one.
A break and we'll take a look at the individual

(01:33:55):
Continuing on on the postgame show, ninety one seventy one
Michigan State with the three Badgers now two and twelve
and the big ten, let's take a look at the
individual scoring as Michigan State had four players in double figures,
led by van Sleuton, who had twenty two points. Grace
Van Slewton, She's coming off a double double against Michigan
twenty two points, five rebounds, ten to thirteen from the floor,

(01:34:19):
eighteen points for Tarren Halleck. She made two three pointers
and handed off four assists. Eighteen for Hallick, a career
high for Enos Sotelo seventeen points, three rebounds and three
assists with the seventeen points a career best. Jocelyn Tate
had thirteen points for Michigan State in twenty six minutes.
Shoemate hits three to threes, scores nine points, three points

(01:34:42):
for a Ralt with five rebounds and five assists, a
Ralt under double figures. It's the first time this season
that a Ralt has not scored in double figures. Badgers
holder to three points, but obviously Michigan State comes away
with the win. Three points for Kimba, four points for
Simmons with a team best I'm sorry with six assists

(01:35:04):
not a team best. Hampton had a team high eight
assists from Michigan State four Wisconsin Sarah Williams with twenty
three points, the tenth straight game in double figures, the
twelfth time this season with twenty points or more. She
also comes away with a double double, her twelfth of
the year. Twenty three points a team high, twelve rebounds

(01:35:26):
a team high. She also swatted one shot one block,
which got her to two hundred in her Wisconsin career.
So twenty three points, twelve rebounds, in a block. Carter
McCray goes for sixteen points. That's the fourth time in
the last five games mc cray has scored in double figures.
She just misses out in a double double. That's kind
of been a theme for her. She's had a number

(01:35:47):
of games here in the Big Ten where with nine
rebounds where she just misses out. Sixteen points, nine rebounds
for Carter McCray. After that, the scoring goes to Lily
Kron with nine points on three of five shooting from
the three point Gilbo Krown did leave with about four
minutes to go in this game. Head coach Mursa Mosley
did not have an update when we talked to her
here on the postgame, but Kron had to leave with

(01:36:09):
what appeared to be a right leg injury. Seven points
with four Natalie Leitzinger rather three of five from the field,
four points from Hallie Douglas with four assists, three points
from test Myers one of seven shooting the three point shot. Tonight,
she didn't hand off a couple of assists for the Badgers.

(01:36:29):
Allie Bisball had seven points, a career best in ten
minutes for the Michigan native playing in the state of Michigan. Tonight,
seven points a career best. She hit three of four
the free throw line. Ronnie Porter goes for two points
and a team high seven assists for the Badgers, and
Halle Douglas four points four assists for Wisconsin's Passovski didn't score.

(01:36:50):
Gresh was Oz of two in eight minutes, Patty Bandlah
of one from the flour in three minutes. As the
Badgers are now two and twelve in the Big Ten
and eleven and fourteen over all this season. We'll listen
to some highlights and all I'll get you one more
check of the Big Ten scoreboard as we wrap with
the postgame. Next, this is Badger Basketball Fromlearfield. Wrapping up

(01:37:14):
the postgame show, John Audio Swiftew Badgers fall in East
Lansing ninety one to seventy one to twenty second ranked
Michigan State and Wisconsin is now two and twelve, and
the Big Ten they are eleven and fourteen overall. So
when you check the Big Ten standings right now, Rutgers
technically on top of the Badgers with a two and
eleven record in the fourteenth spot. Wisconsin would be in

(01:37:35):
that fifteenth spot in the Big Ten standings, top fifteen
make the Big Ten tournament. But now checking the Big
Ten scoreboard, there will be another team with two wins
after Purdue a Northwestern's final horn tonight in West Lafayette.
It is a fifty seven forty eight per Due lead.
Make it sixty to forty eight, now up by twelve
with six and a half minutes to play in the game.

(01:37:56):
If that score holds, Perdue would also have two wins
at two and eleven and have the head to head
over Wisconsin as well. So although that the number of
games played is a little uneven, I believe then that
would be Rutgers at two and eleven, it would be
Perdue at two and eleven, then the Badgers at two

(01:38:19):
and twelve, but still a lot to play down the
stretch of the season, including getting Northwestern on the schedule,
and Badgers also have Penn State. They're a one win
team who are trying to make the tournament, Northwestern and
Penn State would be with one win if that score

(01:38:39):
stands per due within the one of three teams with
two wins. Elsewhere in the fourth, about six minutes ago,
it is Indiana now on top of Michigan fifty three
forty nine, Hoosiers coming seven to five, and the Big
ten Michigan eight and five. And a little bit later
tonight it's Oregon hosting Washington Well in East Lansing. It
was Michigan State leading by as many as twenty seven.

(01:39:00):
Win it by twenty, but there were some right spots
for the Badgers, some optimistic moments. So let's take a
listen to some of the sounds from tonight's Batcher's game.
That bracket No into the lap of Porter. She'll fire
up ahead and transition layup good by Williams Porter from
the backcourt founder teammates Sarah Williams running toward the cup

(01:39:23):
and it's eight six MSU on top of the Badgers
five fifty six to play. First quarter. Here's Sarah Williams
two sparks around are now three kicking out to Kron
How about a three? Yes, Lily Krawn connects from downtown
up side three by Krawn. The assist by Williams. The
whole Michigan State defense collapsed around Williams and it's Krawn

(01:39:43):
connecting for three. Here's his full court pressure by Michigan State,
which horses a big ten best thirteen steals per game.
Badgers breaking into the front court. All lights of your
double team eis mcgraig eats it inside Williams. Her move
to the basket is good with the right hand around
van sloop forty five thirty four back bracket No. Into

(01:40:06):
the lap of Porter. She'll fire up ahead and transition
layup good my Williams Porter from the backcourt Founder teammate
Sarah Williams running toward the cup and it's eighty six
MSU on top of the Badgers. Five pify skate ball
just they lost it into the hands of Whitzinger. Up
ahead to Douglas running forward to the Badgers. Douglas down
the lane. Douglas left hand layup is in. What a

(01:40:29):
move by Hallie Douglas is she just trucked your way
right to the cup. Seventy five fifty one Douglas leading
the fast break. Download a biz ball layup in two
more for the Badgers. It's a seven nothing run for Wisconsin.
As the freshman biz ball scores down low. I've been
Patty Bamba as it left of the paint, kicks it out.

(01:40:49):
Witzinger's open three top of the key, and it's in
down to twenty and the Badgers are going to fall
to eleven and fourteen overall and now two and twelve
in the Big Ten. Michigan State will move to nineteen
and five overall and pick up their ninth Big Ten win.

(01:41:10):
Now nine to four final buzzer sounds and the Badgers
fall on the road to a top twenty five team,
number twenty two. Michigan State wins it by twenty. Final
score from the President Center Michigan State ninety one, Wisconsin
seventy one. There you go some of the highlights from
tonight's game. Four games left in the season four Wisconsin,

(01:41:32):
two on the road and two at home, and the
next two could be very pivotal to the Badgers Big
Ten tournament hopes. Wisconsin takes on Penn State on Saturday
in State College. That one tips off at noon with
the pregame at eleven forty state wide on the Badger's
Sports Network. If the Badgers can beat Penn State, a

(01:41:54):
one win team, that would put him at three wins
in the conference, and then up next a home game
against Northwestern and a team that, if they lose tonight
to Purdue, would still be at one win as well.
So some gettable games with the Badgers in their next two.
Once again, it's Penn State on Saturday tip off just
after twelve pm. Read Magnum will have the call for
you on the Badgers Sports Network. I'd like to thank

(01:42:15):
brad Berg for his help producing tonight's game the studio
in Madison. I'm John Outie is saying so long once again.
The final score Wisconsin falls to Michigan State ninety one
to seventy one. Thanks for listening to Wisconsin Women's basketball.
