UW is coming off a 75-49 dominance of the Hoosiers at Indiana. This after a heart-breaking 73-70 overtime loss to No. 11 Michigan State at home Feb. 3. The Badgers finished third in the conference a year ago and made their first NCAA appearance under Coach Lisa Stone.
Thursday February 10, 2011 5:45

Speaking of Coach Stone, she claimed her 500th career win on Sunday with a 75-49 victory at Indiana. She improves to 500-232 (.683) in her 26th year of coaching, becoming the 27th active head women's basketball coach to win 500-or-more games.
      Stone won her 100th game at Wisconsin on Dec. 13, 2009, vs. SIU Edwardsville. She is 125-114 (.523) in her eighth season at Wisconsin.

The Badgers and Wildcats meet for the second time in 12 days. Wisconsin won the first meeting, a 62-50 victory in Evanston, Ill., on Jan. 30. UW outscored Northwestern 20-5 over the last 10 minutes to pull out the win.

This should be a great offensive game with some of the best shooters in the Big Ten. NU's 6-5 senior center Amy Jaeschke leads the conference in scoring with 22.7 points per game. Jaeschke was held to just 10 points, half her average, in the last meeting 12 days ago in Evanston.
Thursday February 10, 2011 5:54

Wisconsin also has two of the best shooters in the Big Ten as senior Lin Zastrow leads the league in field goal percentage at .550 and senior Tara Steinbauer is fifth at 52.3 percent.
      Zastrow also leads all Big Ten players in conference-only games, shooting 50.9 percent from the field. Steinbauer is third at 49.5 percent.
      Steinbauer leads the Big Ten in free throw percentage in conference games at .917.

The Badgers have had some great individual performances this season. Senior Lin Zastrow tallied a career-high 23 points and added a game-high nine rebounds vs. No. 11 Michigan State on Feb. 3.
       The 6-4 post shot 7-of-13 (.538 percent) from the field, including 1-of-2 from 3-point range, and was 8-of-8 from the free throw line, the best single-game performance for a Badger this season.

Another great Badger performance was recorded by senior guard Alyssa Karel. She recorded back-to-back 21-point games last week, aiding the Badgers to a 1-1 mark. The 5-7 guard scored 21 points vs. No. 11 MSU, shooting 8-of-17 (.471) from the field, including 3-of-5 (.600) from 3-point range. 

                At Indiana, Karel had a game-high 21 points, shooting 66.7 percent (8-of-12) from the field, including 3-of-6 from behind the arc. She scored 12 of 18 points at the end of the first half, giving Wisconsin a 39-25 halftime lead.

Recapping the first half. It was a close game 10-11 NU when the Badgers began a 22-8 run to lead 33-19. NU was scoreless for six minutes in that span. A 3 ptr at the buzzer for NU gave them a lift and only an 11 instead of a 14 point deficit going into the half. Both Karel and Wurtz are perfect from the floor. Karel has 12 and Wurz 11 points. Jaeschke, the leading scorer in the conference, was held to 6 points.
