Women’s basketball: Wisconsin enjoys hot start to 2025-26 season

UW Women’s basketball team faces No. 2 ranked UCLA. February 26, 2025.

After a stretch plagued by on-court struggles and off-court tensions, the University of Wisconsin women’s basketball team needed a fresh start and head coach Robin Pingeton has provided exactly that.

Wisconsin has not posted a winning-record in women’s basketball since the 2010-11 season when they went 16-15, but through eight games, the Badgers sit at 6-2 and have shown plenty of reasons for fans to be encouraged.

By hiring Pingeton, Wisconsin is now led by a head coach with NCAA Tournament experience, a height the program hasn’t reached since the 2009-10 season.
