Reale added four rebounds and two steals, while Morell recorded eight rebounds and four blocks as the two Argentinian standouts shined in their Oakland debuts.

The Badgers enter the matchup 1-0 on the season after earning a 71-65 win over Bradley on Nov. 3.

Addie Deal (15 points), Adaline Sheplee (16 points) and Teagan Mallegani (17 points) led the scoring for Wisconsin, which shot 44.3% (31-for-70) from the field as a team.
In 2025-26, the Badgers went 16-18 overall and posted a particularly strong record at home, going 12-5 in Madison, Wis.

Last season, Wisconsin ranked near the bottom of the Big Ten in points per game (67.8) and field goal percentage (41.7%), but found success from beyond the arc, shooting 34.5% from three-point range.

Wisconsin prides itself on a methodical, physical style of play that Oakland can potentially take advantage of by forcing turnovers and pushing the pace in transition.

Sunday, Nov. 8 vs. Rochester Christian | 2 p.m. | ESPN+

The Golden Grizzlies close the week with a local matchup against Rochester Christian (RCU).

In 10 all-time meetings, Oakland remains undefeated against the Warriors. The two teams last met during the 2018-19 season, when Oakland earned a 64-46 victory at home.
The Warriors enter the week 2-2, having most recently defeated Ohio Christian 97-74 on Nov. 3.

The matchup against Oakland will be the second half of a back-to-back for RCU, which takes on Kansas Christian College on Saturday, Nov. 7.

Guard Jacey Somers has led the charge for the Warriors, averaging 13.5 points per game and scoring at least 17 points twice already this season. She has been incredibly efficient, shooting 50% from three-point range and 46.9% from the field overall.

This matchup will be a special one for Oakland guard Samone Andrews, who spent the first two years of her collegiate career at Rochester Christian. During her time with the Warriors, she earned All-Conference Second Team and Defensive First Team honors.

Andrews made an immediate impact in her Oakland debut against Cleary, scoring 13 points on 6-for-7 shooting while adding two steals.

The Golden Grizzlies will look to close out their first week of the season on a high note with a pair of non-conference matchups.
