night when the Badgers (16-15 in 2010-11) host UW-Whitewater (21-7) in an exhibition at 7pm in the Kohl Center.
Kelsey was a former player and assistant coach at Stanford and is in her first season with the Badgers. She replaced Lisa Stone, who led Wisconsin to the NCAA Tournament only once in eight seasons.
Because of graduation and turnover, Kelsey has only 12 players on her roster this season. Kelsey admits that she’s concerned with that low number.
