Following a very winnable matchup versus Illinois last Sunday, the University of Wisconsin Women’s Basketball team (10-13, 2-10 Big Ten) will welcome the No. 24 Michigan State Spartans (17-6, 7-5) to the Kohl Center Thursday night.
Since starting the year 6–0, the Badgers have spiraled downwards — especially on the Big Ten conference slate — notching just four wins in 13 contests.
In Big Ten play, the Badgers have allowed 72.8 points per game — the second-lowest mark in the conference. But the upcoming Badger schedule won’t be letting up anytime soon.
The Spartans have five scorers hovering around double-digit averages, and each of them will present matchup problems which could plague Wisconsin’s defense.
