When the University of Wisconsin Badgers women’s basketball team (13-15, 4-13 Big Ten) took the Kohl Center floor Wednesday, it was clear they were in for a challenge. 6-foot-8 forward Lauren Betts and the second-ranked UCLA (27-1,16-1) loomed large opposite head coach Marisa Moseley and the Badgers. UCLA spent 12 weeks atop the AP Poll before being upended by USC on Feb. 13.
Wednesday’s contest went as expected, as the Badgers led for just over a minute of game time before ultimately falling 91-61.
The contest provided another learning opportunity for Wisconsin.

“You look at UCLA tonight… that’s what we’re trying to get this program to be,” Moseley said.
