Badgers Upset Wildcats in Madison

Senior guard Julie Pospisilova scored 17 points and made a key steal in the final seconds to help Wisconsin upset ninth-ranked Arizona 84-82 on Sunday afternoon at the Kohl Center.

Wisconsin held a 52-51 lead with 6:45 to play in the game, but Arizona regained the lead at 53-52 on a layup by senior guard Cate Reese. The Badgers tied it back up at 55-55 on a three-pointer by junior guard Brooke Schramek, and then took the lead for good at 57-55 on a layup by Iverson.

Arizona cut the lead to 60-59 with 3:38 to play, but Schramek extended it to 62-59 with a driving layup. The Wildcats came within one point of tying it again at 64-63 with 2:19 to play, but Pospisilova converted a layup after a steal to make it 66-63.

Arizona then started fouling to send Wisconsin to the free throw line, and the Badgers converted 6-of-8 from the charity stripe in the final 1:38 to seal the win.
