The Indiana Hoosiers hosted Wisconsin on Saturday, and snagged a much-needed Big Ten conference win with a great defensive effort in the 63-45 victory. Here are the best photos from the game.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — The conference grind has proven rough for the Indiana Hoosiers (11-6, 2-4 in the Big Ten) recently, but that all changed at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall on Saturday when they defeated the No. 18 Wisconsin Badgers 63-45. 

Trayce Jackson-Davis contributed 18 points, 12 rebounds, five blocks and four assists. Jordan Geronimo stepped up in a big way as well, with 12 points and 11 assists. Freshman guard Jalen Hood-Schifino added 16 points.

Indiana is back on the road Thursday as they take on the Illinois Fighting Illini in Champaign.
