Wisconsin goes 0 and 3 against midwest Catholic schools.

#11 Notre Dame traveled to Madison to take on the Badgers Sunday. After losing to Depaul in Hawii, looking terrible in a Friday night loss to Marquette, the Badgers bounced back with an excellent effort against the Irish. In a hard fought game which saw lead changes and fine play on both sides of the ball for both teams, the Irish pulled out a 77-72 road victory at the Kohl Center.

Potential WNBA pick Megan Duffy had 20 and 6 with 5 assists - her team shot 55%. The game was in doubt until Duffy sank 6 free throws in the final minute of play. As good as Duffy is, the Irish also have a fun frosh to watch in 6' guard Lindsey Schrader, who dropped in 13 points on 6-6 shooting.

Perhaps the biggest surprise for this spectator was the play of Wisconsin Frosh Caitlin Gibson. Gibson started her first game in place of the injured Kjersten Bakke. After looking a bit tentative in the opening minutes, Gibson emerged as a force on the inside, scoring 12 points on 6-10 shooting and collecting 5 boards in 24 minutes. She brought to mind another center from small town Wisconsin and looks to have the potential to be a great inside compliment to super sophomore Jolene Anderson.

The good news for the Badgers is that they aren't scheduled to play any more Catholic schools this season (No, the Nittany Lions don't count...).
