After dropping two straight contests to conference opponents, Marisa Moseley’s Wisconsin squad (3-11, 0-4 Big Ten) face the Minnesota Golden Gophers (8-8, 1-3 Big Ten) in Madison on Jan. 12.
The two last squared off on Feb. 14, 2021, with the Golden Gophers edging out the Badgers in a back-and-forth battle 68-63. With a 6-19 mark since 2002 and 1-9 record in their last 10 matches against the Gophers, the Badgers will look to steal a victory and improve their track record in the rivalry on Wednesday night.
Led by Lindsay Whalen, a former WNBA all-star and anchor of a 53-47 program during her tenure in Minneapolis, the 2020-2021 squad went 8-13 during a shortened season.
