The University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team fell to 5-4 on the season after a thorough 65–87 loss at the hands of the now 10-1, No. 4 ranked University of Iowa and their elite offense.
The sellout crowd was the women’s team’s second ever since 2002. Fans flocked to the Kohl Center hours before the game with hundreds outside the doors two-and-a-half hours before the game started. By the time the doors opened, the line to enter the heavily-anticipated matchup had stretched all the way down the Kohl Center front plaza and around the corner to the neighboring Nicholas Center — a distance that measured roughly 500 feet.
