The scoreboard once read 0-0 in IU's game against Wisconsin on Sunday.
Less than five minutes had run of the 20-minute first half before that total changed to 14-2.
For the third consecutive game, IU got off to a slow start. This time it did so against the No. 11 team in the nation and was pummeled 83-55 as a result.
The loss helped sustain IU's losing streak, which has reached a total of six games.
Before last season, IU hadn't lost six consecutive Big Ten games since the 1944045 season.
Freshman forward Christian Watford (15) and sophomore guard Verdell Jones (11) were the only Hoosiers to reach double-digit scoring. However, a poor shooting performance was not the story for IU this time.
Four IU players and at least 3 turnovers, as freshman forward Bawa Muniru and sophomore forward Kory Barnett were the only Hoosiers to touch the floor and not give the ball away.
Porous defense didn't help IU's cause, as the Badgers, led by guard Jason Bohannon's 30 points, shot 50.8 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point range.
The Hoosiers (9-15, 3-9) will try to find themselves in another tough matchup with No. 10 Michigan State on Tuesday at Assembly Hall.
