Madison, WI - Three minutes and 31 seconds was all it took until Indiana Hoosiers basketball head coach Mike Woodson had seen enough. He needed a timeout as the Wisconsin basketball team raced out to a 13-2 lead inside the Kohl Center on Tuesday night. 

Unfortunately, it was a familiar side for Hoosiers fans. Not since 1998, in the second game ever played inside the Kohl Center, has Indiana emerged victorious over Wisconsin in Madison. Much like the 20 games that preceded Tuesday's, UW won 76-64 over IU, extending a streak that dates back to March 5, 2000. It is the longest home win streak any opponent has held over the Hoosiers. 

Behind the 18-point effort by graduate transfer John Tonje, Wisconsin kept Indiana at arm's length throughout the night. Although the guard only hit one of his five attempts from beyond the arc, the Badgers collectively poured in 13 three-pointers. It was also the 13th time this season UW has made double-digit threes. No other Badgers team has ever made ten or more threes in a season since the advent of the three-point line.

After the game, Wisconsin basketball players and coaches reacted to the victory and answered questions from the media in a post-game press conference.
