NU lost to the Wisconsin Badgers 75-45 today. That is the ninth loss in a row for the Wildcats. Their last win came on Dec. 17. And no, you did not read that incorrectly.
The return of freshman phenom Amy Jaeschke, who returned to the starting lineup after a wrist injury on Dec. 17, was supposed to be the savior for the Cats. And they did come through that night with a dominant win over Marquette. One problem remains.
They have not won a game since.
This includes a winless record against Big Ten opponents. If there was any team that the Cats could conquer in their conference, it was supposed to be the Badgers. The same Badgers who had lost six of their last eight games. The same Badgers who had only one more conference victory than the hapless Cats did.
The same Badgers who were apparently the Harlem Globetrotters on Sunday, and NU the unlucky squad chosen to endure an inevitable defeat.
Now NU women's basketball fans are in the same position as those who supported the 2007 Miami Dolphins. One non-conference win is all that can be asked for.
And no, NU fans don't have a perfect 16-0 season to fall back on.
