Madison, Wisconsin – Indiana basketball lost Tuesday evening, 76-64, at n ° 19 of Wisconsin. Here are three reasons why:
Wisconsin basketball opening blitz
The Wisconsin has not lost time to light its superpower Tuesday evening, reaching six 3 in the first seven minutes of the match.

This ran the badgers (18-5, 8-4 Big Ten) to an advance of 26-4 which established the conditions of the rest of the events of the evening. Buried under this burst of shooting before it could even pass the feet under the table, Indiana I spent the rest of the cold and dark night of the Wisconsin hitting an adversary honestly withdrawn from his game with the way he started.
If anything, the beginning of the wisconsin blisters seemed to freeze the hosts, who could not support this white shoot and seemed to have difficulty sticking or in line to try to really wipe the IU (14- 9, 5-7) outside.
The Hoosiers did not attack themselves, on their credit. They understood the task, trying only a less than 3 (15) than the Wisconsin in the first half. But there were only four in the nine of the badgers. A bad shooting team playing from behind on the road against a good is a problem recipe, and Iu found it in Madison.
The 3 -point gap
It would always be a subject of discussion on Tuesday evening.

Indiana has had trouble at a distance – either in volume or in precision, or both – for years now. The Hoosiers changed the coaches, changed the lists, changed offenses and continued to miss 3 while taking too few from them. They are outside the first 300 nationwide in the two points scored behind the arc and the percentage of global attempts on the objectives on the field of reach.
The Wisconsin is, this season, everything is not. The badgers live behind the line, as evidenced by this astonishing beginning at first half. They came into play Tuesday by making more than 36% of their 3 and scoring 37% of their points behind the arc. The two numbers increase significantly against the opponents of Big Ten.
And it was therefore Tuesday. The Wisconsin built his advance from 3 and kept his lead in the same thing. And when the badgers were cold in the second half, missing nine of their first 10 attempts at a distance, the difficulties of the Indiana have become amplified – Iu fired 1 of 8 in this section.
It always looked like the manufacturer of stylistic difference in this match, and that was.
An Indiana basketball season moving away
The promise of this 9-1 section between the last Atlantis match and the USC victory at home has now disappeared for Indiana.
Mike Woodson’s team has now lost six of the seven. Whatever credit he obtained His effort in West Lafayette Friday, dried in front of this ugly depression at the start of Madison. The analytics of the Hoosiers is not that of a caliber team of the NCAA tournament. Their victories, nor their recent performance.
Many were made of this season’s promise, considerably improved zero resources allowing Woodson and its staff to keep the quality it wanted and add what Woodson needed. However, this team too often repeats the errors of the Indiana teams in a recent past, and if the results do not improve quickly, it will also go in the path of these teams.
