In the second game of their home-and-home series this weekend, the Wisconsin Herd were taken care of handily by the Windy City Bulls on Saturday night.
In front of a sold out crowd at Menominee Nation Arena on Saturday night, the Wisconsin Herd were bested once again by the Windy City Bulls, losing 117-99.
With both teams sporting the same exact players available to their respective squads from the previous night, the fate of the season series hung in the balance between the Herd and the Bulls. However, it would take a few minutes for the stakes to kick in for the Herd and the Bulls since they both got off to sluggish starts following the opening jump.

But it was the Bulls that were able to break out of their shell first as they grabbed control of the game midway through the first quarter and wouldn’t come all that close to letting it go for the rest of the way.
Trying to dig their way out of their double-digit deficit entering the second, the Herd were unable to make the Bulls sweat in any way for the remainder of the first half.
The Herd faced being blown out completely as the Bulls led by as much as 23 midway through the third quarter. While the Herd were able to make a little leeway to close out the frame, they still trailed the Bulls 81-67 going into the fourth.
Save for a brief stretch where the Herd were able to draw their deficit down to 10 as late as the 4:35 mark of the final quarter, the Bulls were unfazed by the Herd before officially handing them their third straight loss once the final buzzer sounded.
