The Wisconsin women's basketball team lost another game yesterday to the Washington Huskies, and while it remained within reach for most of the game, it got away from the Badgers fast in the fourth quarter. However, it may be the second quarter that head coach Marisa Moseley looks back on with the most frustration as the Badgers were outscored 20 to 8. It's not the only game that the women have lost lately; they are now on a four-game skid, and things aren't looking hopeful in the next few.

The Wisconsin women's basketball team has a frustrating losing streak, and they will take on two of the best programs in the country in their next games.
The Wisconsin women are now 10-6 overall but 1-4 in the Big 10 with four straight losses to Indiana, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington. They now have to take on No. 8 Maryland, followed by No. 9 Ohio State. If you hope it then gets better after that or at least easier, you'd be wrong. They then have to face off against Nebraska, who is ranked 34 in NET, and then they head to Minnesota (a team that already beat them 59-50). The season is unraveling in front of them.
If Moseley doesn't find a way to right the ship, there will start to be questions about her future. She is now in her fourth season, and not a ton to show for it. She only had a few decent wins last season, and while the Badgers were invited to the NIT tournament, it felt like an underachieving year. She is now 18-41 in Big 10 play over her time at Wisconsin and 44-64. It may be time for Chris McIntosh to have a tough conversation and make a decision on Moseley. This season is falling apart, and it's not getting easier.
