[NU Sports] First half @ Wisc

[Weinbaum, Willie]

Game was tight when we had the ball down 3 and our offense had been doing well...but Cats were torched after that as offense sputtered and defense, which hadn't been stopping the Badgers much, did so even less.

In a half when NU got three-point field goals from Mirkovic and Curletti, Cats are still down 14.  And Shurna had a good offensive half.  But not enough help.  Rough first half for Thompson.

Badgers are tough as heck at home, let alone coming off a loss.
