In Wisconsin: Fouls, misses lead to Quakers defeat

(11/20/04 10:00am)

MADISON, Wis. -- Halfway through the first half, Penn and Wisconsin were knotted up at 8-8, and it appeared that either team could come away with a win. But the No. 21 Badgers would go on a 14-3 run, pulling away from the Quakers and never looking back, en route to a 77-44 win. After only scoring two points in the first half, All-Big Ten forward Mike Wilkinson ended up with a total of 19 points and 11 rebounds, leading all scorers. Wilkinson was simply unstoppable in the second half, shooting 6-for-7 from the field and 3-for-3 from beyond the three-point line. Tim Begley led all Penn scorers with 15 points. But few Quakers were able to help him carry the scoring load. Sophomore forward Steve Danley had 10 points, and no other Penn player had more than five. For the second straight game, sophomore Ibby Jaaber was unable to put the ball in the basket. After shooting 0-for-6 Thursday night against Providence, he shot just 1-for-10 tonight. But Jaaber wasn't the only Penn player plagued by poor shooting against the Badgers. Despite getting many open looks, the team shot just 31.9-percent from the field and 25-percent from beyond that arc. With the win, Wisconsin (1-0) has now won 29 straight games at their Kohl Center. The team also improves to 6-0 all-time against Penn (1-2). Despite the fact that the Badgers had a football game earlier in the day at Iowa, the Kohl Center was filled to its capacity of 17,142. The Quakers will take a bus back to Milwaukee tonight, where they will catch an early 6 a.m. CST flight to Philadelphia tomorrow morning. The team will return to action on Tuesday at the Palestra against Drexel.
