The University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team (10-13, 2-10 Big Ten) lost their third straight game after falling to the Illinois Fighting Illini (10-14, 2-11) Sunday afternoon, 78–68.
Another disappointing loss for the Badgers came as a result of continued inconsistent play and lack of depth on the offense.
A big reason for the Badger loss was the exceptional play of Illinois’ senior forward Alex Wittinger, who continued to assert her dominance over Wisconsin.
In her freshman year against the Badgers, Wittinger amassed 16 points on just 10 shots to go along with six rebounds.
The only current Badger to play in that game is senior Marsha Howard — she didn’t put up a shot in just seven minutes that night.
