Women’s Basketball: Previewing UW’s second contest against struggling Illinois group

Following Thursday’s 34-point debacle against Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes, Marisa Moseley’s Wisconsin squad (5-16, 2-9 Big Ten) tips off against the Fighting Illini (6-11, 1-5 Big Ten) for the second time this season in Madison on Feb. 6.

The two last met Jan. 9, where the Illini outscored the Badgers 34-15 in the second half and ended the contest with a 21-point advantage. Fresh off a three-game skid, UW aims to generate early offense and add another Big Ten victory to its 2021-22 campaign Sunday afternoon.

Led by fifth-year head coach Nancy Fahey, a member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame, the Illini average 65.
