More on the Wisconsin loss

Mgoblue.com:

The University of Michigan women's basketball team dropped a difficult 69-67 decision to Wisconsin Thursday evening (Feb. 28) in Crisler Arena. The Wolverines (16-11, 9-8 Big Ten) put together an outstanding first-half performance, holding a 20-point lead with just less than 15 minutes to play in the game, but the Badgers (16-11, 9-8 Big Ten) stormed back into contention due to a 33-12 run, and they were able to escape in the closing minutes thanks to crucial offensive rebounds and free throws.

Michigan Daily:

Last night, the Michigan women's basketball team needed to be offensive.

But it was Wisconsin who gave the Wolverines a rude awakening.

Powered by a 51-point second half and a 23-9 advantage on the offensive boards, the Badgers proved to be too much for Michigan in a 69-67 win at Crisler Arena.

Wisconsin avenged a January loss to the Wolverines in which sophomore Krista Phillips hit a miracle 40-foot three pointer to send the game into overtime.

Holding a 20 point lead with 15 minutes to play, Thursday, Michigan (9-8 Big Ten, 16-11 overall) collapsed everywhere but on the boards, where Wisconsin dominated.

The rebounding disparity was the difference in the game and will be a point of emphasis as Michigan heads into its regular season finale against Minnesota Sunday.

"The entire thing came down to offensive rebounds and out of every stinkin' offensive rebound we didn't get one of them," Michigan coach Kevin Borseth said.

But the Wolverines had chances to win or tie the game at the end.
