Purdue Wins 3rd Straight Conference Game over Wisconsin, 79-57

Coach Versyp has recently stated that she is pushing 4 areas of empasis for the team at this point in the season: defense, rebounding, transition, and waiting on screens. Wisconsin outrebounded the Boilers, but we shined in the other three aspects of the game in last night’s rout. The Badgers made things interesting for the first half and early in the 3rd quarter, but then the Boilers strung together at least two good runs to extend their lead. Defense is this team’s calling card, as the team leads the B1G in scoring defense. Thirteen steals led to 29 points off of 24 turnovers, as the Badgers just couldn’t find the handle in this one.
