After an impressive 8-3 start, the Wisconsin women’s basketball team (9-9, 1-6 Big Ten) has struggled to continue their success in conference play as the season progressed. The Badgers lost four consecutive games in a 10-day stretch but look to come back strong Wednesday against their archrival Minnesota.
The most recent of Wisconsin’s heartbreaking losses came Sunday at home to No. 19 Iowa. After the Badgers led by 15 at halftime, the Hawkeyes roared back. They managed to outscore Wisconsin by 22 in the second half en route to a seven-point victory.
Crucial to this second half slide was the Hawkeyes’ ability to dominate Wisconsin in both rebounds as well as turnover points in the second half.
