Wisconsin transfer Wilke narrows down list of suitors to five

Maty Wilke, who entered the transfer portal late last month, has narrowed down her potential destinations to five programs.

Maty Wilke, who entered the transfer portal late last month, has narrowed down her potential destinations to five programs. After a stellar first active season with the Badgers (11.8 PPG, team-high 61 3Pt), the Beaver Dam native will play elsewhere in 2023-2024.

Her final list includes Minnesota, Marquette, Stanford, Utah and Michigan. Of those programs, all of them made the NCAA tournament, with Stanford and Utah operating as 1 and 2 seeds respectively.

Considering the level of success of the programs Wilke is choosing between, it’s clear that she wants to win now and not wait for the developing Wisconsin roster to click down the road.

Her departure is a tough blow for Marisa Moseley and the Wisconsin team and staff, but considering the strides that players like freshman forward Serah Williams (12.7 PPG) and junior wing Brooke Schramek (10.4 PPG) made down the stretch, all hope is not lost in Madison.

Wisconsin Women’s team takes down 12th ranked Michigan 78-70

The Wisconsin women’s basketball team took down 12th ranked Michigan 78-70 on Sunday, beating the Wolverines for the first time since 2014.

The Wisconsin women’s basketball team took down 12th ranked Michigan 78-70 at home on Sunday. The victory over the Wolverines was the team’s first against their Big Ten rival since 2014 and their fourth win in their last five contests.

It was senior day at the Kohl Center and three Badger athletes were honored before the contest, forward Sara Stapleton, guard Avery LaBarbera and star wing Julie Pospisilova.

Playing in front of her family for only the second time since her freshman year, Pospisilova put on a show, scoring 25 points while also adding six rebounds, five assists and two blocks in her final contest at the Kohl Center. She has now scored at least 20 points in four of the last six games to end the regular season.

Joining Pospisilova in double-digits Sunday were teammates Maty Wilke (15), Serah Williams (14) and fellow senior Avery LaBarbera (12) while Brooke Schramek (9) was particularly aggressive on the defensive end, recording three steals and three blocks.

The Badgers (11-19) won three straight Big Ten contests for the first time since the 2010-2011 season and they will now enter the Big Ten Tournament as the 10th seed and face Purdue in the first round on March 2 at 5:30 PM.

The culture appears to be changing in Madison under dynamic head coach Marisa Moseley, now in her second season at the helm.
