After taking over during 2016-2017, University of Wisconsin-Madison women’s basketball Head Coach Jonathan Tsipis had a lot of work on his hands. After taking the George Washington women’s basketball team to back-to-back NCAA Tournaments, it seemed Tsipis was the right candidate to turn the UW-Madison program around.
While the Badgers have struggled somewhat in Tsipis’ tenure, the team looks to be headed in the right direction. Following a 15-18 record during their 2018-2019 campaign — a six-win increase from the year before — the UW-Madison women’s basketball (2-1) team now has the tools for a breakout season.
While the Badgers finished last season with a losing record, there were a lot of positive takeaways that could lay the foundation for a successful 2020 finish.
