The University of Wisconsin–Madison women’s basketball team unveiled their revamped roster and started their season with a 62-51 victory over in-state rival University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee to earn their seventh consecutive opening day win.

Despite losing their top three scorers from the previous season, UW began their first game resembling the 2022-2023 team that finished the regular season winning four of their last five games. The Badgers outscored Milwaukee 20-9 in a dominant first quarter that saw the team shoot 7-of-11 from the field, and 3-of-5 from deep.
