WBB Closes Its Stay In The Bahamas With Loss To Wisconsin
November 29, 2019 | Women's Basketball
NASSAU, The Bahamas - Oshlynn Brown had a game-high 18 points, but it was not enough as Ball State lost to Big Ten foe Wisconsin 67-56 Friday night in its last game at The Bahamas Hoopfest.
The Cardinals (4-3) came out on the losing end of a streaky game that saw 14 lead changes and seven ties. Wisconsin (5-1) had the advantage in the paint, out-rebounding Ball State 47-33.
Ball State had four players in double figures. Brown led the Cardinals with 18 points, Thelma Dis Agustsdottir scored 11, and Jasmin Samz along with teammate Anna Clephane each added 10 apiece. Brown also led the Cardinals defensively with eight rebounds.
The first quarter was highlighted by inside play, as Ball State made all of its baskets in the paint. The Cardinals shot 48 percent around the rim and only attempted three from behind the arc. Ball State would take a 15-13 lead over the Badgers at the end of the first quarter.
Both teams were on heels of one another in the second frame of action. Wisconsin raised its defense intensity towards the end of the first half, holding the Cardinals without a field goal over the last three minutes. The Badgers had taking a slim four-point (29-25) advantage with under a minute left but Brown hit a last second jump shot that would make the score 29-27 at intermission.
Agustsdottir opened the third stanza with a jumpsuit for the Cardinals to tie the game, 29-29. But Wisconsin then answered with a quick 4-0 run which put the Badgers back on top. Although both teams would go back and forth, the Badgers used a late 8-2 scoring surge to regain a seven-point advantage heading into the final period.
In the fourth quarter, Ball State was unable to slow Wisconsin, as the Badgers dominated both ends of the court outscoring the Cardinals 19-15. Wisconsin did not look back the rest of the way, closing out the final six minutes on a 14-8 run to seal tonight's victory.
The Ball State women's basketball team returns to Worthen Arena on Saturday, Dec. 7 when the Cardinals host Western Kentucky at 3:30 p.m.
