Lisa Bluder won her 300th game as head coach of the University of Iowa women’s basketball team Thursday in front of 4,536 in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.

If she repurposes the message she delivered to her team at the under-12 minute media timeout, win No. 600 with the Hawkeyes could come much sooner.

A Kali Peschel 3-point field goal with 12:20 to play pulled No. 16 Iowa into a tie with upset-minded Wisconsin, 52-52. But the Hawkeyes had a 10-point lead six minutes earlier.

"I probably said to get our act together and maybe not in those nice of words," Bluder said with a smile after the Hawkeyes’ 78-74 victory. "I felt there was a section of time we weren’t playing like ourselves."

The Badgers grabbed their final lead, 54-52, at the 10:46 mark of the second half. Then — after hearing Bluder’s message — Iowa went on a 15-0 run, built a 13-point lead with 3:27 to go, and improved to 15-0 at home this season.

Iowa heads into its final regular-season game with a record of 22-6 overall, 13-4 in the Big Ten. Wisconsin lost for the sixth straight time and fell to 8-19, 4-13.
