Last Year’s record: 9-22, 3-13 B1G

Key Returns:

Cayla McMorris: 12.3 PPG, averaged 29.2 minutes per game, 2017 Honorable Mention All-Big Ten, ranked 21st in the Big Ten in points per game.

Biggest Losses: None

Wisconsin needs to continue growing. They have Cayla McMorris but lack many of the secondary options for this Badgers team to be a title threat this season. It is going to take some time for this team to turn around and become a contender in the B1G.
