MADISON, Wis. - The Wisconsin women's basketball team returns home on Thursday to face Maryland for UW's inaugural Pride Game. Tip is set for 6:30 p.m. and the game will be available on B1G+ and WIBA.

Here are five things to know before the tip:

LAST TIME OUT: The Badgers fell to No. 6 Indiana on the road on Sunday afternoon, ending their two-game win streak. The Badgers were led by Brooke Schramek, who scored 13 points and grabbed six boards. Serah Williams added 10 points, six rebounds and three assists.
STEPPING UP: Despite the loss against Indiana, walk-ons Ronnie Porter and Natalie Leuzinger added nine points for the Badgers. Porter's five points came in her only lone eight minutes of play, and she added two rebounds and one assist as well.
BIG BOARDS: Wisconsin secured 36 rebounds against the Hoosiers, 15 of those being offensive rebounds. The Badgers capitalized with 12 second chance points off those rebounds. Williams and Julie Pospisilova both had three offensive boards apiece.
SERIES AGAINST INDIANA: The Badgers are winless against the Terps, with their first matchup being in the 2014-15 season after Maryland joined the Big Ten conference. They only faced off once last year, as the Badgers fell, 70-43, in College Park.
SCOUTING THE TERRAPINS: Maryland currently stands at 13-4 overall (4-2 Big Ten) after a win at home against Rutgers, 80-56. The Terrapins are led by senior guard Diamond Miller and sophomore Shyanne Sellers. Miller is averaging 18.8 points per game and 6.6 rebounds. Sellers leads the team in shooting percentage, connecting on 49.7 percent from the field (90-181).
