Badgers women’s basketball crushed on glass in blowout loss to South Dakota State
South Dakota State proved it would be a tough nonconference matchup for the Badgers women’s basketball team when it upset No. 21 Creighton on Friday. In that game, the Jackrabbits dominated the Bluejays on the glass and in the paint.
They did the same to the Badgers, who lost 79-57 Wednesday night in Brookings, S.D.
Wisconsin (2-1) was crushed on the boards 42-22. The Jackrabbits (3-0) had 15-second chance points, while the Badgers had zero. Wisconsin was also outscored in the paint 40-32. The physical Jackrabbits proved too much.
South Dakota State outscored the Badgers in all four quarters, and Wisconsin ended the game on a three-minute scoring drought. The Badgers shot OK from the field, shooting 41%, but struggled from 3-point range, hitting just 27% from deep.
Sarah Williams was effective for the Badgers with 19 points and nine rebounds, and Ronnie Porter had 11 points and four assists. But no other Wisconsin players finished in double figures, and the bench only strung together seven points.
The Jackrabbits, meanwhile, got 28 points from their reserves.
Five South Dakota State players in all finished in double figures. Haleigh Timmer, Brooklyn Meyer and Mesa Byom finished with 13 points each, Paige Meyer added 11 and Kate Vasecka contributed 10. Five players had at least four rebounds.
Among positives for the Badgers was they won the turnover battle with just 11 to South Dakota State’s 14. They took advantage of those turnovers, too, scoring 12 points off them, while the Jackrabbits scored just four off turnovers.
But that wasn’t nearly enough to overcome the disparity on the glass. The Badgers will look to bounce back on Sunday when they host Milwaukee for a 2 p.m. tipoff at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wis.
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – The South Dakota Department of Public Safety has released the name of the woman who was killed in a fatal crash in Minnehaha County last week.
64-year-old Patricia Archambeau of Mitchell died on January 5 due to her injuries in a crash that took place in the early hours of Saturday, January 3.
Archambeau’s 2012 Chevrolet Traverse was traveling eastbound on I-90 near mile marker 379, about four miles west of Humboldt, when she attempted to pull off on the side of the road.
At the same time, the Traverse was struck by a semi-truck, also traveling eastbound, and pulling a trailer. The truck continued driving east after the crash and has yet to be located.
On Sunday, the South Dakota Highway Patrol released two images of the semi-truck suspected of hitting Archambeau’s Traverse. The two photos were taken on I-29 near 41st Street in Sioux Falls at 2:25 a.m., about 12 minutes after the crash west of Humboldt.
Highway Patrol is seeking more information about a red Freightliner Cascadia semi-truck, missing its passenger-side headlight. If anyone has information, they’re asked to contact Highway Patrol at 605-367-5700.
