If you wanted to get a good indication of how concerned Jolene Anderson was with adding another individual accomplishment to her resume, take a good look at this snapshot from Wednesday night.

Anderson knew she was two points away from breaking the University of Wisconsin school record for points — former men's standout Alando Tucker held the mark with 2,217 in his career — and, after stealing the ball, she was driving toward the hoop with a single defender in her way.

It was midway through the second half of a blowout game against Indiana that ended as an 81-51 win for UW.

But rather than attacking the basket, the senior guard tossed the ball to her left, where sophomore forward Mariah Dunham was waiting for an easy layup.

That's how Anderson is.

Turns out she didn't have to wait long for those two points. Just 23 seconds after Dunham's basket — and with 8:52 left in the game — Anderson nailed a jumper from the left baseline to surpass Tucker, prompting a loud ovation from the 5,484 fans at the Kohl Center.

"Once that shot went in, I knew it was for it, and I just thought, 'Thank God it's over with,' " Anderson said.

Anderson, who finished the game with 18 points, was much more excited to talk about the Badgers' convincing win, their third straight and sixth in eight games.

It was a head-turning result considering UW (14-11, 7-8 Big Ten Conference) had yet to beat a team in the top half of the conference standings — Indiana was in fifth place entering the game.

And the performance was in stark contrast to the one the Badgers put together in losing 86-62 to the Hoosiers on Jan. 31 in Bloomington, Ind., a game in which they fell behind by 17 at halftime.

This time, it was Indiana (15-12, 8-7) that dug itself an early hole. UW ran out to a 17-2 lead 8:01 in, and led by as many as 18 in the first half.

The Hoosiers missed 11 of their first 12 shots and didn't have an assist until there was 5:39 left in the half.

And with that, the Badgers were on their way to their third straight win and sixth in eight games. UW moved out of a tie for eighth place with Illinois, and now sits a half-game back of seventh-place Michigan.

"Our start today was huge," Badgers coach Lisa Stone said. "Whether you're at home or on the road, you need to have a strong, solid, confident start - be a team that comes at people right away and I thought we did that tonight."

But while Anderson was the center of attention, it was far from a one-player show. UW used a balanced attack - senior forward Danielle Ward chipped in 14 points and Dunham added 11 - and shot 50.8 percent from the field. And the Badgers forced 24 turnovers on the other end.

"Just the fact that our team won," Anderson said. "It doesn't matter, the scoring record, whether it came or not. It's just a matter of going and getting our team another 'W.' "
