University of Wisconsin women’s basketball coach Lisa Stone said Saturday night that it was hard to watch the NCAA tournament knowing the Badgers won’t be playing in the big dance.
It’ll be equally tough for Stone and her squad to follow the rest of the Women’s National Invitation Tournament, now that they’re no longer a part of that soiree either. UW’s season came to an ignominious end at the Field House Saturday, as Villanova bounced the Badgers from the WNIT with a 60-54 victory in a second-round matchup before a crowd of 1,382.
