Wisconsin struggled to keep pace in a 118–98 loss to Noblesville, falling behind early due to defensive lapses and inconsistent shot-making. A brief third-quarter push wasn’t enough as Noblesville’s efficiency and home momentum controlled the game from start to finish, leaving the Herd searching for answers.
Victor Oladipo led the charge, scoring 21 points, 3 assists, Kira Lewis Jr added 13 points, 4 rebounds. Dennis Smith Jr put on 7 points, John Butler Jr with 6 points, 10 rebounds.
Offensively, Wisconsin Herd scored 41.8% from the field goal, including 24.2% from the three-point line and 66.7% from the free throw line. Defensively, they outrebounded 52-48 with 14 steals and 2 blocks.
The loss may dent Wisconsin’s confidence, especially defensively, as they look to regroup quickly. They’ll need sharper starts, better ball security, and stronger interior resistance in their next matchup.
Grand Rapids comes into the matchup after a narrow 139–134 loss to Windy City, where defensive gaps and second-chance points proved costly. Despite strong offensive stretches, they couldn’t complete the comeback.
Curtis Jones delivered a strong performance, contributing 31 points, 7 assists, while teammates Daron Holmes II added 27 points, 7 rebounds, Kessler Edwards added 12 points with 6 rebounds, Moses Brown defending the paint with 11 rebounds, 20 points.
Offensively, the Grand Rapids Gold shot 48.9% from the field including 35.0% from deep. They capitalized on opportunities at the line, dropping 90.0%, with 30 assists. On the defensive end they fell short 50-58 in rebounds with 6 blocks and 5 steals.
The narrow loss should push Grand Rapids to tighten their defence and rebounding focus heading into the next game. Their strong scoring shows they can compete with anyone, but closing defensive possessions and avoiding late-game lapses will be key if they want to bounce back quickly.
