Wisconsin-Indiana gaining attention on social media for sloppy first half play
If you were watching Wisconsin-Indiana during the first half, it might have been easier on the eyes to just switch the channel. Neither Wisconsin or Indiana seemed to want to take control of the contest.
Both teams struggled to score the basketball in the first half. Indiana shot 30.3% from the field, while Wisconsin hit 33.3% of its shots. Wisconsin led the game in total turnovers at half with six to Indiana’s three.
One area where Indiana really struggled was shooting three-pointers. The Hoosiers went 0-5 from deep. Wisconsin wasn’t too much better, only making 2-8 attempted.
Both Indiana and Wisconsin fans displayed their disgust on social media after the first half. One fan joked that Wisconsin and Indiana’s poor offensive showing set college basketball back many years.
Another fan requested that they be awarded financial compensation from the NCAA after watching the game.
Here are some of the reactions to the first half:

Wisconsin and Indiana should just call this one a draw. No reason to continue playing.
