Wisconsin women’s basketball continues to slump with little hope for a comeback
The Wisconsin women’s basketball team is in a terrible slump and has now lost six games in a row. They have only pulled off one win in the Big Ten, and it was over Rutgers back at the beginning of December, which feels like a lifetime ago at this point. The season is falling apart on head coach Marisa Moseley, and as you look down their schedule, there are so few winnable games with the way they are currently playing basketball.
Wisconsin women’s basketball are 10-8 overall and 1-6 in the Big Ten.
As we look into the standings of the Big Ten, four teams still have yet to win a conference game: Northwestern, Purdue, Penn State, and Rutgers. Therefore, Wisconsin is not last in the Big Ten but is close to it with their lone win. The problem with the women’s Big Ten is that there are three tiers of programs this year: the good, the mediocre, and the bad. Teams like Ohio State, UCLA, and USC are all in that undefeated and really good category. At the same time, teams like Nebraska, Minnesota, Michigan State, and Washington are all in the middle of the road.
Wisconsin is firmly in the bad category. That’s not where they want to be, and it only seems like the trajectory is headed even further in that direction. They need a turnaround, and the schedule does not look promising. According to ESPN BPI, there is only one game left that Wisconsin is favored to win, and that’s against Northwestern. The rest are all predicted to go against Wisconsin. There are some winnable games in there against Purdue and Penn State, but with those being on the road, the predictions favor the home team.
The concern is that the program is slipping into being a doormat program in the Big Ten, and it’s fair to ask if it will be time for a coaching change if the above results hold out. Wisconsin should not be happy or content with these results and should be willing to ask for more out of the women’s basketball program.

DHS urges Wisconsin ‘sanctuary’ county to keep illegal immigrant accused in elderly sexual assaults jailed
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The Department of Homeland Security is urging “sanctuary politicians in Wisconsin” not to release a Nicaraguan national who was arrested after being accused of sexually assaulting an elderly victim, according to a statement Wednesday.
Julio Cesar Morales-Jarquin, 31, is in local police custody after being charged with two counts of second-degree sexual assault of an elderly victim, DHS said.
He was arrested last month after a residential care facility in Fitchburg, Wisconsin, reported to police that an employee may have assaulted vulnerable residents, according to local outlet WKOW.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) issued a detainer request on April 27 asking that Morales-Jarquin remain in custody.

DHS on Wednesday called on Dane County officials not to release Morales-Jarquin, accusing the county of being a “sanctuary jurisdiction” that refuses to honor ICE detainers.
The agency said the county has previously given ICE as little as 30 minutes to take custody of individuals in its jail.

According to DHS, Morales-Jarquin entered the United States in 2023 under the Biden administration’s humanitarian parole program for Nicaragua. Although the program was later ended, DHS said he remained in the country unlawfully.
“This illegal alien is charged with two counts of sexual assault of an elderly victim at an assisted living facility,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in the DHS statement. “This dirtbag was released into the country by the Biden Administration. DHS is calling on sanctuary politicians in Dane County, Wisconsin to NOT release this criminal from jail back onto the streets to commit more crimes.”

“We need Wisconsin sanctuary politicians to cooperate with us to remove criminals from our country,” she added.

MADISON – When Alie Bisballe committed to the Wisconsin women’s basketball program during the summer of 2023, she had an scholarship on the table from Michigan State.
After the 6-foot-4 forward entered the transfer portal last month, the Spartans came calling again. This time she accepted their offer.
Bisballe announced her commitment to the Spartans May 5. The move puts her about two hours from her hometown of Lake City, Michigan.
She has two years of eligibility remaining.
Bisballe, who announced the news on Instagram, played in 36 games for Wisconsin in two seasons and averaged 1.3 points per game. She averaged one point and 0.8 rebounds per game this past season.
At Michigan State, she’ll joined another former Badger. Carter McCray, who played for UW in 2024-25, is transferring to Michigan State after one season at West Virginia.
Four Wisconsin players entered the portal last month. Rising senior Kyrah Daniels withdrew her name, but guard Breauna Ware signed with Wake Forest. Jovana Spasovski, a 6-0 wing with two years of eligibility remaining, has not announced a commitment.
