The game is on Peacock at 8 p.m. ET.

Wisconsin is 11-11 and 4-8 in the BIG. The Badgers are coming off a win at home over Penn State where they came from behind after trailing by 17 points. IU is a 22.5-point favorite.

Parrish will miss what I believe is her seventh straight game with Coach Moren only saying that she is "coming along."

1st period:

The Badgers took an early 4-1 lead to start things out. Garzon picked up two fouls in the first two minutes of the game and headed to the bench with IU taking a 9-6 lead after a banked in 3 by Scalia.

It was 12-11 IU at the midway point of the period. At the first TV timeout it was IU 14-13 with the Badgers going to the line out of the timeout to try and complete an old-fashion three-point play.

IU took a 17-14 lead on a 3 by Moore-McNeil.

End of 1st: IU 20 Wisky 19

The Badgers were 6 of 7 from the line in the 1st. Garzon rode the bench for a little more than eight minutes after picking up two fouls early in the game.

2nd period:

Scalia started the period with an offensive foul. The Badgers tied the game at 21-21 before back-to-back baskets by Holmes gave IU a 25-21 lead. An old-fashion three-point play by Scalia gave IU their biggest lead at 28-23. Garzon was back in the game after sitting much of the game up to this point.

A three-ball by Scalia gave IU a 31-23 lead and a timeout by Wisconsin with 4:51 left in the period. A three-ball by Moore-McNeil gave IU a lead of 13 at 36-23.

Halftime: IU 41 Wisky 25

The Badgers really cooled off in the 2nd period after shooting the ball well in the 1st and were making it to the line in that period.

IU shot 56.5 pct from the field and 85.7 pct on 3s on 6 of 7 shooting. IU was 9 of 13 at the line. Rebounding was pretty even for both teams and IU had 6 turnovers to the Badgers 10. Holmes and Scalia both had 12 points at the break. Garzon, Beaumont, and LaMendola had two fouls each.

Wisky was 39.1 pct from the field and 1 of 5 on 3s. They were 6 of 7 at the line. The Badgers had three starters with two fouls each and also a reserve with two fouls.

3rd period:

It was in this period that Wisconsin chopped a lot off of a 17-point lead by PSU this past Sunday in which the Badgers won.

The Badgers started the period on a 6-0 run to make it 41-31 IU and Garzon picked up her third foul. A basket by Holmes stopped the run by the Badgers and IU had a 12-point lead.

Wisconsin cut the lead to eight at 43-35 and they are doing what they did to Penn State last Sunday with a big run right now. At a TV timeout at the 3:56 mark, it was IU 45-37 with the Badgers outscoring IU 12-4 in the period to this point.

End of 3rd: IU 48 Wisky 39

IU was 0-5 on 3s and 2 for 12 from the field through first nine minutes of this period. A three by Scalia stopped the bleeding in this period and extended the lead back to 9 points. The Badgers outscored IU 14-7 in the period.

4th period:

Holmes scored to start the period to give IU a double-digit lead again at 50-39. IU had a lead of 56-41 with 6:40 left. A three by Moore-McNeil made it 59-43.

Another three by Moore-McNeil made it 63-43 and a Badger timeout at the 5:06 mark and Moore-McNeil has hit 9 threes in a row over the last two games.

A 6-0 run by the Badgers made it 63-49 IU with 3:05 left.

It was the reserves on the floor to finish it with IU winning 68-64.

Final: IU 68 Wisconsin 54
It was a very inconsistent game offensively by IU, but they had enough to get a road win. Garzon was in foul trouble for much of the game and she went scoreless in the game.
