Head Coach Jonathan Tsipis made a major adjustment to the starting lineup for the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team’s (4-13, 1-12 Big Ten) game against Penn State (8-7, 5-6). Replacing usual starting center Sara Stapleton was sophomore forward Tara Stauffacher, meaning the Badgers were going small. The change did little to impact winning, however, as the Badgers fell, 98–74.
While Wisconsin was able to shoot a modest 47% from the field, the primary offensive woe for this Badger team persisted. Wisconsin’s backcourt committed 16 of the team’s 22 turnovers, with Julie Pospíšilovà responsible for eight of them.
