The Wisconsin Badgers women's basketball program snapped a double-digit game losing streak as they traveled to Corvallis, Oregon, and took care of business.
Wisconsin learned its season wasn't over when it was invited to the WBIT. While they had to play at Oregon State, it wasn't a game the team was going to take for granted. Even though the Badgers' last win came on January 21, they had 15 days to prepare for this one. In the end, Wisconsin led for 90% of the game and ultimately prevailed, 62-58.

Wisconsin improved to 14-17 overall as they ended Oregon State's season at 23-12. The Badgers are now set to go back on the road for the tournament's second round.
Their opponent: the Miami Hurricanes. In the span of a few days, Wisconsin is forced to go from the Pacific Northwest all the way down to Florida.
The Hurricanes are 18-14 overall after they defeated their first-round opponent, Georgia Southern, 82-56. Miami has won six of its last eight and is 11-6 at home this season. Keep in mind, the Hurricanes haven't lost at the Watsco Center since February 1. Wisconsin's only road wins during the regular season were at UIC and Rutgers.
The two teams will square off on Sunday, March 22, at noon ET, 11 a.m. CT.
