Wisconsin women’s basketball to participate in 2024 Cancun Challenge

Wisconsin’s women’s basketball program will participate in the 2024 Cancun Challenge from Nov. 28-30, according to a release from the program.

The circuit will take place in Cancun’s Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya, The Badgers are slated to compete against Providence, San Diego State, and VCU in the Mayan Division in a three-game round-robin format.

The gauntlet will also feature BYU, Idaho State, Iowa, Rhode Island, Rice, and Vermont in the event’s Riviera Division. This fall will mark the 19th edition of the event.

Marisa Moseley’s squad enters the 2024-25 season following a 15-17 overall output in its 2023-24 campaign. The Badgers also went 6-12 in conference play en route to a Great 8 appearance in the WNIT, UW’s first clinched postseason berth of the Moseley era.

The Badgers will welcome four new players this fall: international guard Alba Martin Mesa, walk-on Reese Jaramillo, former Northern Kentucky center Carter McCray and former Duquesne guard Tess Myers. All-conference forward Serah Williams will look to spearhead Wisconsin’s offensive and defensive attack this fall.
