The start of the season has not been generous to the University of Wisconsin Badgers women’s basketball team. Non-conference play has been shaky for Marisa Moseley’s squad and a lot of improvements need to be made to turn the season around.
Wisconsin’s issues were made clear in a devastating 71-63 overtime loss last month to Chicago State, who entered as the underdogs in the match. The Cougars’ win against the Badgers was their fifth victory in the last six seasons.
The look on Chicago State sophomore Ana Haklicka’s face when the buzzer sounded said it all. With tears of pure joy, Haklicka and the rest of her teammates celebrated as if they had just won a national championship.
