MADISON, Wis. – Freshman guard Nevaeh Caffey scored a career-high 16 points and senior guard Shay Ciezki added 31 points as Indiana picked up a road win at Wisconsin, 77-74, on Wednesday night at Kohl Center.

KEY MOMENTS

Caffey hit a pair of 3-pointers as Indiana (13-11, 2-10 B1G) held the 8-6 lead with just under six minutes to play. A drive to the rim by senior guard Jerni Kiaku and a Caffey transition layup made it 15-11 with 57 seconds left.
Wisconsin (13-10, 5-7 B1G) finished the quarter on a 5-0 run and took the 16-15 lead. Indiana, however, used an 8-2 run to build a 23-18 lead. The game would get tied back up at 25-all with 3:09 remaining but the Hoosiers held on to the lead despite a late Badger push to hold the 31-30 edge at the break.
Ciezki highlighted IU's offense in the third with 10 points as it shot 60 percent and built as many as a 12-point lead in the frame.
In a tense fourth quarter, the double-digit lead disappeared with 3:33 to play as the Badgers hit from three to go up 63-61. It was a short-lived lead as Indiana regained control on a four-point play from Ciezki with just under two minutes to go.
With the game back within a point with 17 seconds remaining, redshirt sophomore guard Lenée Beaumont hit a big pair of bonus free throws.

NOTABLE

Ciezki finished the night with 33 points, her second-straight 30-point plus scoring game of the season. She was a rebound shy of a double-double (nine boards) and had a career-high five steals.
Ciezki also inches closer to becoming the 34^th member of the 1,000-point club as she added 31 points to her IU career total which now sits a 962. Her 573 points moves her in to 11^th all-time in single season scoring at Indiana.
Caffey finished with a season-high 16 points and hit a pair of 3-pointers to go along with four rebounds and two assists.
Beaumont also finished in double figures with 11 points and a team-high five assists.
Indiana finished with a 55.8 percent clip from the floor on the night.
The Hoosiers extended its win streak to 12 games in the series with Wisconsin, dating back to the 2015-16 season.
