Women’s basketball: Badgers look to smaller lineup to stop five-game skid

After dropping the last five games, the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team returns to action Sunday to face Michigan State in the annual “Think Pink” game at the Kohl Center.

The Badgers (6-13, 2-7) look to kick-start the second half of Big Ten play by upsetting a Michigan State (15-4, 6-2) team that has won three in a row and is primed, with a win, to be ranked in next week’s polls.

Wisconsin will look to utilize a new smaller lineup that was effective toward the end of the game against Minnesota.

The small ball lineup, consisting of Nicole Bauman, Dakota Whyte, Tessa Cichy, Roichelle Marble and Avyanna Young spreads out the floor and allows Wisconsin to maximize their shooting and open up driving lines.
