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'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.

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 Wisconsin Badgers streak to a 22-point on the Indiana Hoosiers in less than 7 minutes of their Big Ten Conference game.

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

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.

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.
