Just ten days ago, the University of Wisconsin Women’s basketball team (12-14, 3-11 Big Ten) left Champaign, Illinois with a double-digit loss to the last place team in the Big Ten.
Senior Alex Wittinger and the Illinois Fighting Illini (10-16, 2-13) recorded just their second win on the conference slate versus the Badgers.
After the quick turnaround for both of these teams, the Badgers should look heavily for more bench scoring compared to the mere nine points they scrounged against the Illini in their last matchup.
In their last two contests, bench efforts from Abby Laszewski and Suzanne Gilreath have kept the Badgers competitive and provided much-needed depth.
