MADISON, Wis. - As the holiday season approaches, members of the Wisconsin women's basketball team were asked about their holiday plans. The Badgers held their last practice before the break on Tuesday and will return to Madison for practice late on Saturday.
Wisconsin returns to action on Monday when it hosts Michigan State at 7 p.m. in the Kohl Center.
Today is the last of a six-part series on the Badgers and the holiday excitement. Be sure to go back and read the earlier posts as the Badgers write about their favorite holiday traditions, their favorite holiday food, what they enjoy most about the holidays, what they asked for this holiday season and what makes the holiday season special.
