Wisconsin women's basketball to face first-time opponent in Daytona Beach Classic

When it announced nearly all of its 2025-26 non-conference schedule in August, Wisconsin women's basketball left two matchups to be revealed.

Thursday, those two remaining games were revealed.

Wisconsin is set to play in the 2025 Daytona Beach Classic.

The tournament, a multi-team event held over Thanksgiving weekend, is hosted by Coast 2 Coast Women's Basketball.

Six teams will participate in two games each, as the tournament hosts back-to-back triple-headers inside Daytona Beach's Ocean Center Convention Complex.

On Black Friday, Wisconsin is slated to match up with one program that first-year UW head coach Robin Pingeton should have some familiarity with.

On Saturday, Wisconsin faces another opponent for the first time in program history .
