Center Tessa Towers announces her departure from Wisconsin women's basketball
MADISON – The Wisconsin women’s basketball team will enter its first postseason appearance in 13 years with a slightly smaller roster.
Sophomore Tessa Towers announced her intention to enter the transfer portal Monday afternoon. The 6-foot-5 center from Batavia, Illinois, played in one game this season and four games in two years.
This season she has been listed as 'out' on the Big Ten’s availability report for the last eight games.
She announced her decision on X and included a statement thanking the team and Badger community for their “understanding and support”. She wrote she wants to find a program where she can have a greater impact, enhance her skills and contribute to team success.
“This move is about pursuing the best future for me, and I do so with love and respect for Wisconsin,” she wrote. “Excited for what’s ahead, I look forward to making new connections and continuing to grow. Thank you all who’ve supported me thus far. I’m eager to see where this journey takes me next.”
After careful thought and discussions with my loved ones and mentors, I've decided to enter the transfer portal with 3 years of eligibility left. pic.twitter.com/2T4AfKGiUp
