Jan. 17--Gopher women bounce back at Wisconsin

Thank goodness for the Wisconsin Badgers. After 4 straight losses, the Gopher women bounced back with a 78-50 drubbing of Bucky on their home court in Madison. The Gophers took a 35-17 halftime lead and cruised from there. Unlike recent games, the Lady Gophers shot well--49 percent on FG, 60 percent on 3s, 73 percent on FT--while the Badgers had a difficult time getting the ball into the basket with percentages of 38-22-38. That's right, 38 percent on FT (8-of-21).

Kenisha Bell led the way with 25 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists. Annalese Lamke added 15 and 9 and Taiye Bello 14 and 9. Destiny Pitts' shooting slump continued, however, at 2-of-7.

Player of the Day--Kenisha Bell
Team of the Day--Gopher women
Coach of the Day--Lindsay Whalen
