MADISON, WIS.- The Badgers return home after two games on the road as they host the Michigan Wolverines on Thursday, Jan. 16. at 7 p.m.
Here are five things to know before tip-off.
1.
Sunday Review: The Badgers fell at Michigan State, the final score 52-69.
Imani Lewis led the team in points with 12 and rebounds with 13.
Abby Laszewski also hit double digits with 12 points.Â
2.
Having a Record Year: Lewis continues to amaze. Recording her eighth double-double and sixth consecutive of the season, she is now the sole holder of third place for most consecutive double-doubles. She needs just one more this season to enter the top 10 for most in a season. Also working on their records, are
Kendra Van Leeuwen and
Suzanne Gilreath. Van Leeuwen dished out five assists against the Spartans and is steadily climbing towards fifth place for career assists. Gilreath claimed fifth as her own for career three-point field goals and is three away from taking over fourth in career attempts. One to note is
Abby Laszewski. The senior forward is three blocks away from entering the career top 10.
3.
What's Up Wolverines: Once ranked Michigan is currently 11-5, 2-3 in conference play. The team most recently lost to No. 17 Maryland, for the second time this season. Sophomore Naz Hillmon leads the Wolverines in scoring, averaging 15.6 ppg, and rebounds with an average of 8.4. Hillmon was named to the Preseason All-Big Ten team and the Big Ten Honor Roll twice this season. She is also on the Katrina McClain Award watch list and the Citizen Naismith watch list. Amy Dilk joins Hillmon on the Honor Roll, also receiving the nomination twice.
