Credit to the Badgers coaching and training staff in having the Wisconsin squad participate in seven B1G dual meets this season. The downside is they’ve only managed to win a single match at home against then No. 16 ranked Purdue (22-14).

Wisconsin has faced three top 10 teams this season (Ohio State, Nebraska, and Penn State) and they lost these duals by a combined score of 80-30. I guess another congratulations is in order for being marginally better than Michigan State. Kudos, Bucky.

Next up for Wisconsin is a pending beat down against Iowa this Sunday (2/21).
