More on the Wisconsin win

Michigan looked really good on Sunday - the defense was solid, players were taking (and making) good shots and the offense was balanced (5 players in double figures). How much of that was Michigan, and how much was Wisconsin struggling remains to be seen. Let's hope it is the start of a turnaround for the Wolverines.

From mgoblue.com:

The University of Michigan women's basketball team used a quick start and red-hot shooting to cruise past Wisconsin, 70-42, on Sunday afternoon (Feb. 1) at Crisler Arena. The Maize and Blue ended a six-game losing streak with a season-best 57.1 percent (24-of-42) from the field while holding the Badgers to 28.8 percent (17-of-59).

Making shots at a season-best rate in front of its largest home crowd of the year, the University of Michigan women's basketball team put an end to a six-game losing streak.

The Wolverines scored the first nine points of the game Sunday on their way to a 70-42 victory over Wisconsin in front of 3,688 at Crisler Arena.

With five players in double figures, Michigan (10-12, 3-8 Big Ten) snapped the longest skid in second-year coach Kevin Borseth's tenure with the Wolverines. They hadn't won since Jan. 8 against Illinois.

"Finally,'' Borseth said. "It seems like we have been in a good position a lot of times in the past couple games, and we weren't able to do it.

"Today we played really well against a great Wisconsin defense. They are tough to score on, and I thought we did a great job today on both ends of the court.''

and the Pierce County Herald:

The University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team got crushed at Michigan Sunday 70-42.

It was the Badgers’ fourth straight loss and Badger Head Coach Lisa Stone sent her entire starting lineup to the bench after five minutes, when the Badgers were down 9-0.

The Wolverines went on a 15-0 run later in the half and rolled from there. Michigan shot 57-percent, as led by as much as 32 late in the game.

Wisconsin shot just 29-percent and its 28-point losing margin was the most since falling to Illinois by 30 just over three years ago.
