Speaker 4 (01:02):
Good from the Cole Center, where we are one week

Speaker 4 (01:44):
From Wisconsin head coach Marissa Mosley. This is Badger Basketball
from Learfield and welcome back to the Cole Center. It's
Badger women's basketball as the Badger's face. Steven's pointed an

(02:08):
exhibition here tonight, joined by Wisconsin head coach Marissa Mosley.
What was your off season like after the final horn
last year in the w n I T run.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
It was a lot of recuperating because it was probably
the longest that we've gone definitely since I've been here.
It was a lot of recruiting, and then it was
a lot of getting back into the swing of things
and kind of trying to I'm going to keep with ours,
regroup and reunite this new team that we have to

(02:40):
make sure that we're ready for tonight.

Speaker 2 (02:41):
What excites you the most about this new team that
you have our depth?

Speaker 5 (02:47):
You know, I think we and our experience of our
older We finally have older players who have had experience
that we can rely on. And then we have depth
of some of our new players, some of our returners.
And there's just a hunger and the culture that we've
been buildings as I got here. I really feel like
it's starting to materialize and we're seeing kind of the

(03:09):
we're reaping the benefits of that so far.

Speaker 4 (03:11):
Talking with Wisconsin head coach Marissa Mosley, the Badger's Face
Stevens point here tonight at the Cole Center. Now, a
couple of these new faces on the team, two transfers
specifically point out Carter McRae and Test Myers.

Speaker 2 (03:22):
What do you like the most about each of their games?

Speaker 5 (03:26):
Well, I think both of them are coming. They chose
Wisconsin because for Tests it's her one opportunity to play
at a much higher level for one year and for
her to take the winning ways and her kind of
skill set and be able to really enhance what we're doing,
and that we had a need and she's able to

(03:46):
build out immediately. And then for Carter, it's an opportunity
for her to play our last three years at the
highest level possible, knowing that she can capitalize on an
incredible freshman season. And we laughed at big ten mey days.
We called her kind of like a unicorn. And then
she's also a dog, so like a unicorn dog like
she gets after it, but she's kind of like you

(04:07):
don't see players like her. She's not that tall, but
what she can do and the way she rebounds and
how tenacious she is, are you just gonna have a phenomenal.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
Career here excided for both of them. Thanks for the time.

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Yeah, absolutely, thank Sean, said.

Speaker 4 (04:18):
Coach Marissa Mosley. Keep it right here more on the
pregame show. Next, this is Badger Basketball from their field.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Back Cole Center.

Speaker 4 (04:29):
As the pregame show continued, the Badgers playing in an
exhibition game hero this evening against w Stevens Point joined
by Wisconsin assistant coach fro Gerald.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
First of all, welcome to Madison.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
Can you tell our listeners a little bit about how
you were able to join the Badgers?

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Well, thank you.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
First of all, happy to be here. Quite simply, a
position became open, I applied and went through the process
and coach mostly gave me this, this wonderful opportunity.

Speaker 4 (05:00):
And now you're here, first exhibition game of this season.
How exciting are exhibition games for coaches?

Speaker 7 (05:06):
You know, there's there's an excitement to it because it's
the first you finally get a chance to play against
someone else. You know, we've been playing against each other
since June now, so you're just kind of ready to
see all that you've been working on for you know,
for months, you know, see it against someone who doesn't
know what's coming, so to speak. So there's that level
of excitement because it's kind of in the case things

(05:26):
are getting started.

Speaker 4 (05:27):
Is this kind of how you prepare for exhibition as
compared to a regular season game. It's more about you
than it necessarily is about them.

Speaker 6 (05:33):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 7 (05:34):
And that was a lot about of what coach Mosey's
pregame talk was about, about us setting the tone and
not just for today before the season.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
Finally, what us stood out to you the most about
this team through some of the preseason practices, our talent.

Speaker 6 (05:48):
And our depth.

Speaker 7 (05:49):
You know we we and our versatility. I think we
can play a lot of different styles, but the talent
and the depth is what sticks out the most.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Welcome to Madison, Thank you, happy to be here. All right,
there you go.

Speaker 4 (28:41):
Sarah Williams statt line for Wisconsin exceptional six points, three rebounds,
three blocks, could even have more points than that. She
was two of seven, however, from the free throw line
and Deannas Timenez down to the floor. I had looked
down at the stats, and I'm not sure if h
Men is collided with another Wayer.

Speaker 2 (29:05):

Up right now, and now the Menez seems to be okay.
I'm sure if she just got.

then Spashowsky knocks it for again. Now the ball's loose,
grabbed by Williams, throws over the porter, Porter lobs inside.

of light Singer and out of bounds. I'll tell you
what what him Meantez is down on that the right
sideline in front of the Stevens point bench. Not only
is she dealing with her defender in front of her,
but head coach Matt Hackett is like a defender out
of bounds, just handspread wide to his side, just kind

(48:40):
of going back and forth, shuffling his feet because it's.

Speaker 2 (48:43):
Like he's guarding him. Menez out of bounce. Let's you know,
you see that out of the corner of your eyes,

coming up at the half, we'll run through some of
these numbers team an individual, and when we come back
our halftime interview with the Badgers, Halle Douglas, who returns
to Wisconsin for her final season of college basketball. Here
from Halle Douglas in our halftime interview. Next, this is

(49:48):
Badger basketball.

Speaker 2 (49:49):
From Alearfield halftime tonight from the Coal Center. John autis
with you, and the Badgers lead Stevens Boyd at this
exhibition game thirty four to twenty two. I'll score the
pointers eighteen to eleven in that last quarter.

Speaker 4 (50:09):
Well, tonight's half time interview is Wisconsin is Hallie Douglass.
I had a chance to speak with the Badgers six
to one guard earlier last week, and here's that interview
here at the half.

Speaker 2 (50:20):
So what is it like to be back at practice
and getting ready for another year?

Speaker 9 (50:25):
Yeah, I mean, I'm just grateful to be back for
another year. I mean I love playing here at Wisconsin
and I wanted to be a part of something special
for one more year.

Speaker 6 (50:33):
So I'm grateful to be back here.

Speaker 2 (50:35):
So what is that like then, to be able to
get that one final season of college basketball?

Speaker 9 (50:39):
Yeah, I mean it's such a blessing. Obviously, I'm sure
a lot of fifth years would say that, but just
also coming off of an injury and getting that year back.
I had it last year to kind of just get
back in the bastle mode and then this year just
finally get fully healthy and be back to myself. So
I'm excited to play this year and just be one
hundred percent.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
Let's talk about last season, because this team made some
really big strides WN run all the way to the
rate eight. What do you think it means for the
team entering this season to have the success that you
guys had last year.

Speaker 9 (51:05):
Yeah, I mean that was a huge momentum boost for
our team. You fell a little short of our goals
that year, and but that's nothing to say. We did
great and we made it to the wn IT which
was we want to play in the postseason however we can,
but our main goal is still making it to the
NCAA tournament. So just doing whatever we can to get
to the postseason, using the momentum we had from last year,
and just striving to be even better this year.

Speaker 4 (51:27):
Yeah. What do you think was the best part of
last year's team and what do you think needs to
maybe become a little bit more solidified entering this season.

Speaker 9 (51:37):
I think our team chemistry last year were just great,
and I think that's what helped us roll into the postseason.
But I think our depth is something that's really just
going to take us even farther this year. We're bringing
back most of our team. We've got younger girls in
and outperclassmen, and we have a lot of experience on
our team, along with bringing in some older transfers, which
really helps the experience. So I think just putting that

(51:58):
all together is really gonna bring us to be a
better team.

Speaker 4 (52:01):
Talking with Halle Douglass here at halftime, so what was
your off season like?

Speaker 2 (52:05):
Would you what were you up to?

Speaker 9 (52:07):
I mean, it was just playing basketball. It was very
great to just be playing basketball this offseason because last year,
obviously I was rehabbing, so I was able to actually
play the spring and summer and fall, which was great
for me just with my development and.

Speaker 2 (52:20):
Stuff like that. Yeah, so what areas are you trying
to improve?

Speaker 4 (52:23):
I mean, obviously, I think most athletes are probably trying
to get better every single year, whether you're college, pro,
or whatever.

Speaker 2 (52:28):
But what we're you focusing on?

Speaker 9 (52:31):
I was only just focusing on getting my body right
and back and just playing defense and trusting my knee again.
But then also I've been working on shooting and just
getting my shot off quicker and making better decisions.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
Off the bounce.

Speaker 2 (52:43):
And we talked about this being your fifth year, do
you you well, how do you view your role? Number one?

Speaker 4 (52:47):
And as part of that, maybe as a mentor for
some of the newcomers to the Big Ten and then
also for some of the freshmen five freshmen on this
year's team.

Speaker 9 (52:53):
Yeah, obviously, being my fifth year, I've had a lot
of experience. But I just think my role in this
team is to do whatever our team needs me. If
I need to score that game and hit a few threes,
if that's if I need to go get an offensive rebound,
or play defense or box out, I'll just do whatever
our team needs. And with that, like my team needs
a leader, needs someone to look to or go to.
I hope that's I'm someone that can do that. Thanks

(53:16):
for the time, Yes, of course, thank you.

twelve points, says we're getting in ready.

Speaker 2 (57:53):
For quarter number three coming up. Remember coming up.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
The Badger's regular season opener fifth here at the Coal
Center at six point thirty against Right State. Badgers play
a couple at home before are heading to South Dakota State.

Speaker 2 (58:10):
It's right state on the fifth. Five days later on
the tenth, it's.

Speaker 4 (58:13):
Georgetown, and the Badgers will return back to the Coal
Center in November for three in a row. So we
want to go check out the women's basketball team. November seventeenth, Milwaukee,
November twenty first, u C. And November twenty third here
in Madison on.

Speaker 2 (58:30):
A Sunday. I believe that is against Omaha. So the
Madgers will be here six of.

Speaker 4 (58:36):
Their first seven if you count tonight's exhibition game. Our
two teams on the flour. Great start for the freshman
Yovanna Spashofsky seven points in that first half with four rebounds.
Third quarters underway, with Wisconsin going left to right, White

(59:00):
singer with the rock, gives it up to Porter Firesi
a free throw line. Spashofski kick out to the corner.
Myers near side left tangible drifting to her left, looks inside,
caught spash Offski off the window, two points, an easy
lay in there by the freshman nine and now to
lead the way to lead all scorers tonight, Ylvana Sbashofski pointers, ball,

(59:25):
challenging Porter on a drive is Kreaker and then Ronnie
just reached in and tried to rip the basketball away.
Jump ball is the call. Possession arrowed to Stevens points
just underway in the third quarter, pointers ball Thompson on
the left, reads midposts on the left. Here's a hook shot,

(59:47):
no good over Sarah Williams missed by McIntyre. McIntyre tries
to kick it out and is stolen. Wisconsin Spash offski
to her left, driving in from the left side, colliding
to the rim and scoring this light Singer thirty eight
to twenty two Wisconsin. Thatcher's with the first four points
of the third quarter. Now they filed it up to

(01:00:09):
a sixteen point advantage mid post on the right turn around.
Galita comes up short on the jumper into the lamp
of porter. Here's Ronnie and Wisconsin left to right. Throws
it to spashofsky kicks it to the corner. Myers is
open for three. It rims out, no good Lightsinger fighting
with two pointers players for the ball. Jump ball possession
arrow Wisconsin Tess Meyers now zero of five from the field.

(01:00:35):
All three point shots by Myers hasn't connected yet in
bounds play caught kicks it up to quarter to the right.
Lightsinger inside Williams Rooking fall not free, it's loose who
has it Steven's point, Galida has it and Leitzinger tried
to knock it away before the pointers control. Krieger front

(01:00:59):
court quarter picks her up top of the key to
the left wing. Now Myers defense Smith screen set for Thompson.
Thompson right of the wheel, bouncing mid post, right working,
working back and tire up. Nope, out of bounds rejected
by Williams. Think Williams got a piece of that. We'll

(01:01:27):
see if the up club to four blocks down seven
on the shot clock for Steven's point to the corner.
True Shawn now driving looking for somewhere to go is
Smith and a whistle as Smith? Oh, actually, true Shawn
got knocked over. Smith put up a shot.

Speaker 2 (01:01:47):
Test. Myers will be called for the foul.

Speaker 4 (01:01:52):
Thirty eight to twenty two Wisconsin lead. It'll be pointers ball,
not a shooting foul. Fouled number one or Wisconsin. To
start this third quarter, Loftus to the left. Smith catches
Smith to Thompson driving stumbling forward, leaves it off to
Loftus full up near the right elbow is no good.

(01:02:14):
Holding by Thompson around three badgers, leaves it off and
clipping it off the backboard for two.

Speaker 2 (01:02:19):
Is Smith just right of the lane.

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Thirty eight to twenty four first field goal the second
half for Steven's point. I screen Williams sets for light
Sinker on the left wing, who can roll back over
to Williams and she'll just walk to the rim and
score down low on the left to finish good from

(01:02:48):
Sarah Williams. She's reached double figures with ten four rebounds
tonight for Williams, and there's another block on a shot
down low by McIntyre.

Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
I remember double doubles were.

Speaker 4 (01:03:01):
Sarah Williams thing last season, twenty of them total. Williams
set a Big Ten record with seventeen consecutive double doubles.
He got ten and four tonight points and rebounds, but
adds another block now is five pasted oling Douglas galloping
the other way.

Speaker 2 (01:03:20):
It's gonna count in.

Speaker 4 (01:03:21):
A foul reaching in from behind. I think they're gonna
get true Sean with that foul. Hallie Douglas hasn't had
one opportunity upcoming.

Speaker 2 (01:03:34):
Back to Williams statline. Yes, he's up to five blocks now.

Speaker 4 (01:03:36):
With those ten points and four boards. So here's Douglas
and Hallie will miss the free throw. Short rebound robbed
by the Pointers. Chase down on the sideline. That follow

(01:03:57):
what's called against true Shawn. Here's Thompson left baseline Leisinger
defense as it download the lapt still has nowhere to go, however,
decides to flip up a shot. It's missed from eight
feet out and fighting for the rebound is Stevens. Stephens
points ema Loftus.

Speaker 2 (01:04:20):
And a foul called against the Badgers. Ronnie Porter with
her third foul, team fouled number two against the Badger
six forty two to play. Third quarter, Wisconsin forty two.
Stevens points twenty four. Thompson outside right, fables to the
free throw line, has it at the left elbow, Lightsinger

(01:04:42):
tightly on her, gives it up. McIntyre running shot, No
good check it. That was loftus. Rebound.

Speaker 4 (01:04:46):
Wisconsin up ahead to pour it Porter front court, Ronnie
on the right. Ronnie skips it to the left. Hallie
throws it inside. Mccraig gathers up off the window, now
tries to get her on rebound.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
It is going to be a.

Speaker 4 (01:04:59):
Whistle and it is going to be a bowel against
Idok Stephen's point. But the way Marissa Mosley just reacted
to that call, no, she's good. It is a fouel
against Steven's point. Second team Bowel Wisconsin ball light sinker

(01:05:28):
a face line bounces inside. Douglas lost a grip on
the basketball, grabbed by the pointers. Steven's point right to left.
It's loftus top of the key, drives to a right
dribble drive, hand off to Mackie. Mackie kick out left wing.
Burton sit up her threes in the first half for her.

Speaker 2 (01:05:48):
Porter on her tightening.

Speaker 4 (01:05:49):
Al Meyer switches now back to quarter, flips it deep
on the left, the lid up working on a Cray
tries to pull her way to the basket and a
fall called against McCray missed the show and now to
the free throw line will be Goalita Koshowski comes in,

(01:06:17):
Myers leaves light Singer leaves and also now coming in
is Dianna Simenez. So here's Galita at the line from Franklin,
Wisconsin seventy seven percent free throw shooter last year. Hers
free throw is going to rim Ount No Good Wisconsin

(01:06:43):
forty five percent from the floor so far in this game,
holding Stevens point to twenty four percent from the field.
Rodgers have led by as many as eighteen here in
the quarter, and the free throw is in so.

Speaker 2 (01:06:56):
One of two at the line by Galita. It's forty
two to twenty five.

Speaker 4 (01:07:01):
Wisconsin has a lead with the basketball by forty two
to play in the third quarter. Spash Offski or Wisconsin
defended by Thompson, bounces to her right to Douglas inside
the McCrae and an easy.

Speaker 2 (01:07:13):
Layup deep on the right for Carter McCrae.

Speaker 4 (01:07:17):
McCray and the Badgers now lead it forty four to
twenty five, five twenty five to play in the third
Crawn nearly came away with the steel, trying to pick
the pocket of Mortensen, who regathers to the left.

Speaker 2 (01:07:28):
Thompson driving on Spashofski kick out over a loft, just
driving in now to the top of the key Makia three.
It comes up short and it's going to be Stevens
point basketball. I believe what hell they're gonna say, Wisconsin.
I thought that came down off the back of Krawn,
who was standing out of mounds with an avenue.

Speaker 4 (01:07:48):
Apparently rather touched out of mounds first before touching the
back of Krawn Wisconsin ball forty four twenty five the Badgers.
It's nearly a twenty point lead and an offensive foul

(01:08:10):
against him Menez as she crosses the timeline into the
front court push off called against Ti Menez. Stevens point
ball pointers haven't scored in the last two and a
half minutes. They're over the last four. From the four,
there's Tompson along two. It's gonna roll in.

Speaker 2 (01:08:33):
Was it a two or three?

Speaker 4 (01:08:34):
I think it's a two, and then a bowel called
down low away from the basketball. So I think they're
gonna count the basket and it should be forty four
to twenty seven, and it'll be the Badger's fourteen Bowl,
and I believe it's gonna be Steven's point ball after
this time out now on the flour, well, straight it
out out for you when we come back four fifty

(01:08:56):
five to plaint in the third Wisconsin forty four Stevens
point twenty five is what the scoreboard says. We'll get
the score right next. This is Badger basketball from lyric
third quarter here at the Coal Center.

Speaker 2 (01:09:14):
John odiis with you.

Speaker 4 (01:09:15):
It's the exhibition opener for the Badgers, forty four to
twenty eight is the score on the scoreboard. The officials
taking a look at the monitor during this last media timeout,
they're going to give the three to the pointers to
make it forty four twenty eight.

Speaker 2 (01:09:38):
Leading scorer tonight for Wisconsin is Sarah Williams ten points,
four rebounds, and Yovanna Spashovski, the freshman course seven from
the field right behind Williams with nine.

Speaker 4 (01:09:50):
Points, and it'll be Stevens point basketball. The last fall
was called against him. Men is four get the fifteenth
fowel against Wisconsin. Okay, so now the pointers are in
the bonus, so they'll be at the free throw line.
So not only do they get the three pointer good
by Thompson after the review and now the foul called

(01:10:14):
against him, Menez will lead the two free throws, and
the first free throws up and in by Galita seventy
seven percent pre throw shooter a season ago for Stevens point.
See if the pointers can get another one on the board.
They do so, essentially a five point play for Stevens point,
and it's down to a forty four point thirty score.

(01:10:37):
Wisconsin's ball and the lead. Douglas. The double team hands
off the porter to the corner. Krawn lifts and rises
and connects with three.

Speaker 2 (01:10:48):
Lilly.

Speaker 4 (01:10:48):
Krawn from the right corner, drills the triple and Wisconsin's
on top by seventeen the right baseline. Galda trying to
pass traffic to get it to Mortonson. It's poked away
and stolen by the Badgers. Four twenty to play in
the third. Now the Badgers toss it away.

Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
Who has it?

Speaker 2 (01:11:08):
Jump ball?

Speaker 4 (01:11:09):
It was Maggie getting her paws on it for Stephen's point.
But the possession arrow we'll head in the direction of
the pointers. So here comes Stevens point again at forty
seven to thirty. Wisconsin leeds Thompson right, the line extended

(01:11:34):
on the right, lost the ball, Retrieves puts it on
the floor again, pretended.

Speaker 2 (01:11:40):
By smash off. Steve spins it to her right. Mortenson
catches and a quick whistle.

Speaker 4 (01:11:47):
And a fowl call, trying to get the number on
that one from Steven's point fall against the pointers, here's
Porter up the left side line to Douglas.

Speaker 2 (01:11:59):
Douglas down the left to kick out spashofski for three. No,
it's no good.

Speaker 4 (01:12:03):
McCray gets a deep on the left offensive rebound on
the pook back end for McCrae.

Speaker 2 (01:12:09):
Forty nine Wisconsin.

Speaker 4 (01:12:13):
Loftis got called for the last fall that should be
a travel against the pointer. The don't call it thrown
away by Loftus, stolen by Wisconsin. Fast break time Spashawski
good Dom lowing the right off the feed from Douglas
time out Stevens point three, twenty eight to play in

(01:12:35):
this quarter, fifty one point thirty Wisconsin and the Badgers
are on the seven zip run, largest lead of the game.
Now for the UW twenty one points, eleven points now
for the freshman in Spashovski with four rebounds and three

(01:12:55):
assists in nineteen minutes. Great exhibitions start off Ski here
against Steven's point. Badger's regular season opener a week from
tonight against Right State here at the Cole Center. Check
it out, go get some tickets at UW Badgers dot com.

(01:13:21):
And I think they they called it thirty second time out,
but I think they've moved it to a full time out.

Speaker 2 (01:13:29):
Producer Dave Gasper, how many breaks do we have left?
Let's keep three. Let's take a break as a Badger
of basketball for player Field County to play in order.

Speaker 4 (01:13:47):
Number threech on Audius win, New Wisconsin leads Stevens point,
fifty one thirty pointers ball and a quick whistle and
Steven's point moves into the front court and a fowl
called against the Badgers. He's gonna put the pointers back
at free throw line to shoot a pair, and is
it Ronnie Porter?

Speaker 5 (01:14:03):
It is?

Speaker 2 (01:14:03):
And it's her fourth foul.

Speaker 9 (01:14:05):
Here.

Speaker 4 (01:14:07):
Porter seemed to upset right after that whistle. Not really upset,
more shocked, more kind of confused.

Speaker 2 (01:14:14):
Better way to put it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:16):
Free throw in for Kalida, so Porter heads to the bench.
Four Wisconsin. Here's Goalita's second free throw. That one's gonna
bounce around the rim and drop three Wisconsa with the
lead and the ball, three fourteen to play in the third,

(01:14:37):
it's fifty one thirty two.

Speaker 2 (01:14:40):
And pointers player.

Speaker 4 (01:14:42):
Mackie almost came away with the steals, lost it out
of bounce in your sideline.

Speaker 2 (01:14:51):
Fashofski will invot.

Speaker 4 (01:14:55):
Hard counts caught by Jimenez between the circles, guides it
over to Crown open three right.

Speaker 2 (01:14:59):
Side right rim. No good Craig offensive rebound are honest?

Speaker 4 (01:15:03):
Plethora of pointers missed the shot as she went back
up in a whistle falls to the floor, and who's
the call going against?

Speaker 2 (01:15:13):
To the point always it against McCray. It is.

Speaker 4 (01:15:20):
Cardi McCray seems a little confused. It's like Ronnie Porter
was not too long ago. Foul McCray and the Badgers.
And back to the free throw.

Speaker 2 (01:15:28):
Line we go.

Speaker 4 (01:15:31):
Cray is gonna go talk to Wisconsin coach Larrissa Mosley
and head of the bench with Cray six points, eight rebounds,
leads Wisconsin in boards tonight in twelve minutes. All right,
So Alexa Thompson, we'll have a couple of attempts here.
First one's no good. Second in scoring last year for
Stevens point nine pre throw shooter, so that's pretty rare.

(01:16:01):
Next one up coming for Thompson, and it's through. Thompson
makes it fifty one thirty three. Badgers are in control
over the Stevens point pointers to fifty eight in county
to play in the third. Prawn catches outside left for

(01:16:21):
the Badgers. O Himn is top of the key, the men.

Speaker 2 (01:16:23):
Is high screen, a Menace throws to her left. Josh
Offski dribbles free throw line jumper, short offensive rebound.

Speaker 4 (01:16:30):
Williams down deep on the left they're on a double team,
and she'll put it up off the window. It's gonna
count at a foul. Sarah Williams in a free throw
line for an and one. Williams the offensive rebound, and
now two more on the board. Twelve points, five boards
for Williams, and now she'll go to the free throw line,

(01:16:54):
where it's kind of been her only hickup of the
game so far. Two of seven from the free throw line, free.

Speaker 2 (01:17:02):
Throw, no good.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
Two of eight rebound pointers to thirty five to play
in the third quarter. Left wing, it's Smith defended by Lightsinger.
That's twenty four versus twenty four.

Speaker 2 (01:17:20):
To the corner. Murphy back out on top.

Speaker 4 (01:17:22):
Smith tries to three, Nope, falls into the lap of
Hallie Douglas. Douglas rebound outlets left sideline. He Manas races
up the floor to the corner like tiger for three.
It's no good, long rebound. Who hasn't kicked out by
the pointers picked up Stephen's point. It's Murphy throwing out
to the left baseline. Now working down low as Mackie.
Mackie on Vashofski, no but to follow Kashafsky, hands on

(01:17:47):
her head, cannot believe the call to a four to
play and more.

Speaker 2 (01:17:52):
Free throws for Steven's point.

Speaker 4 (01:17:58):
Stephen's point has gotten to the free line eight times
in this quarter ten times in the game. Spashovski, with
her second foul, heads toward the bench. Tess Myers comes
in and the free throwers miss by Kira Macki freshman

(01:18:19):
out of the state of Michigan for the pointers. Next
one is short rebound into the lap of Myers in
a foul called against Stevens point. Twenty point Badgers lead,
and that is team foul number four. Although there is

(01:18:43):
a discrepancy between the ribbon on the on the coal
center here and the statistics they have Stevens pointed five fouls.

Speaker 2 (01:18:52):
The board just moved in to four, so now we
have a little bit of a stopping to play.

Speaker 4 (01:18:58):
And I think they're trying to figure that out.

Speaker 2 (01:19:06):
And it'll be the fifteenth foul.

Speaker 4 (01:19:10):
So what that means is Tess Myers will get her
first chance to get in the points column on the
box score. Myers to the free throw line for Wisconsin
transfer from Ducaine free throw no Good. Wisconsin is six
of sixteen from the free throw line tonight. Myers is

(01:19:33):
an eighty six percent free throw shooter. This next one's
in pointers into the front court. Trailing fifty four to
thirty three, under two minutes to play. In quarter number three,
Murphy steers it to her left. Brab By McIntyre back

(01:19:53):
to Murphy down the lane, tied up by Douglas, el
ball possession arrow to Wisconsin. Stephen's points no field goals.
In the last three minutes, the Badgers have tied their

(01:20:14):
largest lead of the game. It's at twenty one. Heymen
Is left hand guides it off to the left, caught
by light, center skips it to the near side. This
isdeed hind A screened by Douglas, changes direction, now goes
down the lane and gets tripped up in a foul.

Speaker 2 (01:20:35):
So now the Badger's back at the bree throw line.
This third corner is slowed down thanks to free throws.

Speaker 4 (01:20:40):
Steven's point has gotten there ten times. This is the
Badger's fifth and sixth tries from the line. Tonight's in
this quarter. So the men Is gets tripped up, file
called against. Galita her third and here's deed to shoot
a pair, and that first one is going to roll through.

(01:21:00):
Giannis and Menez scored in double figures nine times last
season for the Batchers, scored about seven.

Speaker 2 (01:21:06):
Per game in her first year. Next one is up
and through. I really like Dianis's game though.

Speaker 4 (01:21:20):
Now Ellie Bisball into the game six ' four freshmen
freshman from Lake City, Michigan.

Speaker 2 (01:21:25):
The first action for Bisball pointers ball a minute twenty
to go in the quarter fifty six thirty three Wisconsin.
Mortenson out on top and throws to a ride off.

Speaker 4 (01:21:38):
This with the basketball lights and Ger tightens up the
screws defensively bounce inside, working on Williams shot up missed
by McIntyre in the follow fall. Now Kindsire, the senior
from Waukeshaw, Wisconsin, will now go to the free throw
line called against Sarah Williams as sister first Williams claiming, Hey,

(01:22:03):
I was just just standing here with my hands up
a bove in my head. But here's MacIntyre. Now played
in twenty five games last season. For Steven's point, free
throw drops through first point of the night for McIntyre,

(01:22:27):
she does have six rebounds. Second one misss rebound Williams
outlet right sideline, hemenis front.

Speaker 2 (01:22:35):
Court d left hand dribbled out on top. Now she's
gonna run the offense.

Speaker 4 (01:22:39):
Amendez brings it back out to the motion w for
a minute to play in the third quarter, guides it
over to the right, his ball with the ball all
Jamyer's out on top, drift team to a left, Beads
inside double team on Williams deep on the left in
a fall called against Steven's point and more free throws.

(01:23:00):
Williams will step to the free throw line. Well points,
six rebounds for Sarah Williams, first team All Big Ten.

Speaker 2 (01:23:08):
Pick for Wisconsin last year. Here is Williams. This is
that freethrow.

Speaker 4 (01:23:20):
There's a lid on the basket for Williams tonight, specifically
from the free throw line. Make this and she's thirty percent.
She got it three of ten tonight off shooting night
from the charity strike. But still thirteen points. And there's

(01:23:41):
the leading scorer in this game. And the pointers throw
it away, it'll be Badger's ball. With forty two seconds
in the third corner, Wisconsin.

Speaker 2 (01:23:53):
Needs somebody to inbound.

Speaker 4 (01:23:54):
Sarah Williams says, oh, I'll go do that near sideline.
Forty on the game clock, twenty eight on the shot clock.
Here's a man is racing to the ram, bumps into
Loftis in a blocking fall against Loftus on the baseline.

Speaker 2 (01:24:09):
Amenez got super aggressive on that drive.

Speaker 4 (01:24:13):
And Loftus was left behind on the play fall called
per second. That is the eighth Stevens point foul. Seventeen
fouls total in this quarter between the two teams.

Speaker 2 (01:24:30):
Amen Is free throw is.

Speaker 4 (01:24:32):
Going to bounce off the front ram, then drop through

Speaker 2 (01:26:57):
Twenty six percent for the pointers.

Speaker 4 (01:27:05):
By the way, Yovanna Sbashofski not a bad start here
in the next hibition, eleven points on five of ten shooting,
four rebounds and three assists.

Speaker 2 (01:27:15):
Fourth quarter is here Stephen's point running to the rim,
laying it up and in his loftus.

Speaker 4 (01:27:24):
Stoke Wisconsin product am a loftist for two twenty point
Badger's lead. Hitzinger out to the left to the corner,
Myers high post, Williams fine Spashofski went so the rim
missed it down low on the right. Good luck go
there by the freshman picked up pointers Stephen's point. It's

(01:27:47):
Smith now they'll bounce down the mid post on the right.
Smith working on Williams and Loston. That's Aubrey Smith. Carissa
Smith had the ball initially earlier in that play. Thompson
deloftus Myers on her goes it to the left side.

(01:28:12):
This is Carissa Smith on top Thompson Blitzinger, Honor shot
bocks at five to the left. It's Smith on Douglas
left baseline prize and put it up right hand blocked
by Douglas. Picked up Wisconsin lights in here, push up ahead,
Myers be down low william stepped through. No but a

(01:28:34):
vowel because Williams slippins down to the four, will be
helped up by our teammates, and we'll go right back
to the free throw line, where she's basically been this
entire game.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
Ten tries at the line for Williams tonight, She's three
for ten and now still have a pair and the
first one is no good. Next one up coming for Williams.
She leads all scorers tonight with thirteen.

Speaker 4 (01:29:13):
Next one is gonna go through, rattled around, and then
it finally gently drops through the bottom of the net
four twelve from the free throw line. I mean Williams
could easily be at twenty points right now, eight forty
in county to play in this game.

Speaker 2 (01:29:31):

seventy two to forty one, joined by the Badger's Lily Krown.
How to feel to get out on the floor and
have some competition here tonight?

Speaker 11 (01:47:01):
It just felt surreal, like we're back on the court.
We're here with the new team. We're here to show
everybody what we're about, and I think.

Speaker 2 (01:47:07):
We did that. Yeah, what do you think about the
new pieces around you and your teammates this season? How's
everything working so far?

Speaker 11 (01:47:14):
I think we're we mesh really well together. Like we
got test Meyers a graduate, we got her for shooting,
we got Carter to give Sarah some minutes there, and
I just think they really.

Speaker 6 (01:47:23):
Fit in with us.

Speaker 4 (01:47:23):
Well, yeah, what's the best part about the team that
you've seen through practice and now through this first exhibition game?

Speaker 2 (01:47:28):
What do you think are going to be some of
the stronger points of this team.

Speaker 11 (01:47:33):
The stronger points I feel like are going to be
like our unselfishness. We pass the ball really well when
we get working together, like there's nobody that can stop us.

Speaker 4 (01:47:42):
Four players scored in double figures. Sarah Williams was a
block party really for her with seven blocks to night
she led the way with sixteen. What would you think
You mentioned Carter McCray, she just missed out on a
double double. What do you think she'll bring to the
team this year?

Speaker 11 (01:47:55):
I really think that she'll bring us like the O boards,
like we really need those, and like just her overall
like defense and strong like strength, like she's just always
in the pain, always getting those O.

Speaker 2 (01:48:05):
Boards for us. You scored three points tonight. You hit
a three pointer? Had to feel good? No, really good?

Speaker 6 (01:48:10):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:48:10):
Yeah. What's your off season like heading into this season.

Speaker 11 (01:48:13):
Just a lot of time in the weight room, a
lot of time in the gym, a lot of getting
in with the coaches.

Speaker 6 (01:48:18):
Just a lot of shooting.

Speaker 2 (01:48:19):
Yeah, that is that what you're focused on? Stronger and
just more shooting.

Speaker 11 (01:48:23):
Yes, yeah, okay, and defense yeah defense to.

Speaker 4 (01:48:35):

hand the headset over to assistant coach fro gerro and
then we'll talk a little bit with coach about this one.
Just talk n Congratulations on the victory. It was a
thirty one point win. What stood out the most to
you tonight about your team?

Speaker 7 (01:48:54):
Gosh, you know, we played hard. You know, we got
some stuff that we got to work on. Our three
point shooting when he shoot it as well as we
would have liked. We still need to take care of
the ball a little bit better. But all and all,
everybody got got to kind of get their feet wet today,
which was good and it's a good learning tape for us.

Speaker 6 (01:49:16):
So we'll watch and get in the lab and get
ready for our right state.

Speaker 2 (01:49:19):
What are some of the things you think you need
to work on. You mentioned some things you need to
work on. What would be some of those things that you.

Speaker 7 (01:49:25):
Saw Yep, our shooting, our free throw shooting, yep, for sure,
just the flow of our offensive execution.

Speaker 6 (01:49:33):
It was a little chopped yet times.

Speaker 7 (01:49:34):
I think the second half we did a lot better
with our transition, which was nice to see, and we
were able to create some of those opportunities with our defense,
So that was good.

Speaker 4 (01:49:42):
Yeah, the free throw shooting, I was going to ask
about that now. Listen, fourteen or twenty nine, it's forty
eight percent. Sarah doesn't go four of twelve usually, you
know what I mean? Like that, that was an aberration,
wouldn't you say?

Speaker 11 (01:49:53):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (01:49:53):
Yeah, you know, sometimes in the first game.

Speaker 7 (01:49:55):
I don't want to say jitters or anything, but sometimes
you get so psyched up for the game and just
ready to get go.

Speaker 6 (01:50:00):
I think maybe a lot of that had to had
to do with her her free throw shooting.

Speaker 4 (01:50:04):
Today you all rebounded Steven's point forty two. I'm really excited,
like as a Badger's fan, when I see Carter McCrae
and Sarah Williams both on the court rebounding, and doesn't
that make you excited as a coach.

Speaker 1 (01:50:14):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (01:50:14):
Absolutely, You have two of the best rebounders in the
country on one team. Yeah, that that's something to be
excited about. So get them and sync and we should
continue to dominate the boards.

Speaker 4 (01:50:23):
Tell me about Yovanna spash I don't know already said
her name correctly, Spashofski. Excuse me, Yovanna Spashovski eleven points,
she gets the start tonight.

Speaker 2 (01:50:34):
What do you like about her game?

Speaker 7 (01:50:36):
Her versatility? You know, she she's able to play a
number of physicians. Her skill set is very versatile.

Speaker 6 (01:50:43):
So she you know, she's.

Speaker 2 (01:50:46):
She's a.

Speaker 7 (01:50:48):
She's just a special player. She's a special player. She's hard,
hard nosed. She has little flair to her game, but
her versatility is what what helps us most.

Speaker 2 (01:50:58):
All right, well, congratulations, an exhibition win done up. Next
to the regular season a week from tonight.

Speaker 6 (01:51:04):
Yes right, thank you, thank you.

That's assistant coach fro Jarrow with us on the postgame show.

Speaker 4 (01:51:09):
Badgers win. It's seventy two to forty one over Stevens point.
A break, and we'll come back and look at the
numbers next. This is Badger Basketball from Learfield.

Speaker 2 (01:51:20):
Welcome back, postgame show. John Outius with you.

Speaker 4 (01:51:22):
Seventy two to forty one, Wisconsin will win over Steven's point.
Let's take a look at the final team in numbers tonight,
as the Badgers shoot forty one and a half percent.
We'll round it up forty two percent from the floor
twenty seven of sixty five, twenty four percent shooting for
the pointers tonight on thirteen of fifty four from the
field from outside the three point arc. You heard assistant

(01:51:44):
coach Giroi talk about gotta do a better job from
outside the ark. Wisconsin only knocked down four of twenty
four shots at seventeen percent. The pointers hit five of fourteen.
Free throw line wasn't any better for Wisconsin fourteen of
twenty nine, just forty eight percent. A lot of those misses, though,
did come from Sarah Williams, and it was out of
the ordinary. She's a much better free throw shooter than

(01:52:05):
what happened here tonight. But fourteen to twenty nine for
the Badgers, ten of sixteen from Steven's point from the floor,
rebounding plus three for the Badgers forty five forty two turnovers.
The Badgers forced twenty eight turnovers from Stevens point. Wisconsin
half that number in turnovers, fourteen points off turnovers, huge
advantage for Bucky twenty six to twelve. Meanwhile, Wisconsin did

(01:52:30):
out rebound I mentioned plus three they were plus two
on the offensive glass and second chance points fifteen to six.
Leaders there points in the paint, big big advantage forty
four to fourteen for Wisconsin fast point another big advantage
twenty five to three on the fast break for the Badgers,
who had eleven blocks compared to one for Stevens point
fourteen to seven doubled them up on steals did the Badgers.

(01:52:53):
And assists fifteen for Wisconsin, eight assists for the pointers.
Wisconsin led this game for thirty two minutes. They led
by as many as thirty one. That was the final differential,
but it was a kind of a couple of points
to watch from tonight. The Badgers were trailing by two
early first quarter seven zero run. They never really looked
back after they got it to sixteen to eleven six

(01:53:14):
points in that first quarter from Sarah Williams. At the half,
it was a thirty four to twenty two score. Badgers
actually ended the first quarter on a seven zip run
and then started the second quarter on a four nothing run,
so overall eleven nothing the run for the Badgers, and
then they had another. They had a twelve o run
in the quarter as well, which brought the game from

(01:53:36):
a twenty two to sixteen score to thirty four to sixteen,
so thirty four to twenty two at a half. Badgers
led at fifty eight to thirty six after three, and
they went at seventy two to forty one. We'll take
another break and when we come back, we'll have some
individual numbers for you. Four Badgers in double figures and
what a defensive night from Sarah Williams. Plus we'll hear

(01:53:57):
some highlights from this game as well as the postgame
show continues in two minutes. This is Badger basketball from Learfield.
I'll say what at the post game show for you
as the Bacher's beat Stevens points seventy two to forty
one tonight in an exhibition game at the Coal Center.

(01:54:19):
Let's take a look at the final individual numbers, starting
first for the visitors from Steven's point. They were led
by Alexa Thompson's twelve points and sixteen rebounds tonight, a
double double for Thompson in thirty minutes of action, eight
points from a loftus. She's from Stoton, Wisconsin, hit four thirteen,
