Overview
 The Badgers boast one of the biggest and most imposing frontlines in the NCAA Tournament. Second-team All-Big Ten selection LaTonya Sims is agile with long arms. Jessie Stomski is a bull near the basket and the league's second-best rebounder. Bulky 6-foot-4 center Nina Smith is tough to stop when she gets on the low block, shooting 60 percent from the floor. Combine that group with All-Big Ten second-team guard Tamara Moore, and the Badgers are in business.Player to Watch
Junior Tamara Moore, a 5-foot-11 point guard, is the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, leading the conference in steals while finishing the regular season third in assists.
