Oakland kept pace with Wisconsin for a half before the Badgers took control of the boards and pulled away for an 89-56 win. Makenzie Luehring scored a season-high 24 points, but Wisconsin’s rebounding edge helped turn a 10-point halftime lead into a decisive victory.

By the Numbers
  • Wisconsin 89, Oakland 56.
  • Makenzie Luehring: 24 points on 8-for-16 shooting, including 3-for-3 from 3-point range.

Yes, But

Oakland’s offense showed promise from beyond the arc, especially in the second quarter, but turnovers and Wisconsin’s second-chance opportunities widened the gap. The Golden Grizzlies managed just three field goals in the fourth quarter.

What's Next

Oakland returns home to face Rochester Christian University on Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m. at OU Credit Union O’rena in Rochester, Michigan.

Bottom Line

Luehring delivered a standout scoring performance, but Oakland will need to limit opponents’ rebounds and sustain its offense late to turn close stretches into wins.
