The Wisconsin women’s basketball team (11-12, 2-9 Big Ten) dropped consecutive games to the No. 11 Maryland Terrapins (19-2, 8-2) and the Michigan Wolverines (14-9, 5-6) over the weekend, hampering the Badgers’ hopes of climbing the Big Ten standings in the coming weeks.
The Badgers entered College Park, Maryland, Thursday night, with some momentum from last weekend’s victory, but with a tall task ahead of them. The No. 11 Terrapins have finished either first or second in the Big Ten each year since their arrival to the conference in 2014. Their reputation preceded them, but the Badgers did not blink early in the contest.
