2017-18 Non-Conference Schedule | Season Tickets on sale Monday
MADISON, Wis. – The University of Wisconsin women's basketball team has released its 2017-18 non-conference schedule which features games against six 2017 post-season teams and six 20-win teams, head coach Jonathan Tsipis announced on Monday.
"I wanted our non-conference schedule to really challenge us," Tspis said. "The opponents we face offer a variety of different playing styles. It will help the team get better each night and in turn prepare us for the teams we play in our Big Ten schedule."
The Badgers face NCAA tournament teams Green Bay (27-6 in 2016-17), Syracuse (22-11), and Marquette (25-8) as well as WNIT participant George Washington (20-10). Women's Basketball Invitational teams Milwaukee (22-12) and UT-Rio Grande Valley (19-14) will also challenge Wisconsin.
Following an exhibition against UW-Platteville on Nov. 5, the Badgers open the regular season with three-straight home games. A rematch with Charlotte (21-10) on Nov. 12 is followed by home games against Green Bay and Southern University (16-17).
Wisconsin spends the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. Virgin Islands, participating in the Paradise Jam. UW will take on Syracuse, George Washington and Vanderbilt (14-16) in that tournament.
After returning from the Islands, the Badgers travel to Pittsburgh (13-17) on Nov. 29 for the 11th-annual Big Ten/ACC Challenge. Wisconsin kicks off December with a home game against La Salle (17-13) on Dec. 2. UW faces in-state opponent Marquette in Milwaukee on Dec. 4, is home Dec. 6 vs. UT Rio Grande Valley then plays at Butler on Dec. 12. UW hosts Savanah State on Dec. 10 before it wraps up the non-conference season against Milwaukee at home on Dec. 14.
The Big Ten Conference office has also announced the 2017-18 conference opponents for the Badgers.
Wisconsin will host reigning Big Ten champions Maryland and Ohio State, 2017 WNIT champion Michigan, Penn State, Minnesota, Northwestern and Rutgers.
Road games for the Badgers feature contests at Michigan State, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern.
