It didn't take long for the Badgers to blitz the Hoosiers for a 26-4 lead, the proof that the final score was a smokescreen for how most of the game was played.

Wisconsin basketball cruised to a 76-64 win over Indiana on Tuesday night. Here is some of the best reaction from Badgers fans and media

The Hoosiers lost the game before they could find their footing in a "weird" game at Wisconsin. There was one key difference in the first half, too.

The Hoosiers trailed 26-4 early and never recovered with inconsistent shooting and too many turnovers, leading to flat player ratings in yet another loss.

Wisconsin's triumph qualifies as a Quad 2 victory in the NCAA NET system, as Indiana's No. 64 ranking firmly sits within Quad 2's range of home games against teams ranked No. 31-75. The result brings Wisconsin's record in Quad 2 games to 6-0, bolstering a resume that currently has the team listed as a four-seed in most bracket projections.

Tuesday night’s loss in Madison was the loss Indiana fans had been fearing would come. A superior opponent came out and asserted itself before the desperate Hoosiers had any chance in the game. The Badgers had eight points before Indiana scored.
