Although the game was
neck-and-neck early on, the Badgers had an 11-2 run in the first half to jump
ahead of the Bulldogs and never look back. The Bulldogs came back just before
the half, making it a 26-20 game when the buzzer sounded but struggled early in
the second period. Although they pulled to within four points midway through the
second half, the Badgers held on and broke away for the 61-46 win.
