When it comes to the matchups circled on the calendar, Friday’s game is certainly on that list. The No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers host the No. 2 Nebraska Cornhuskers in a marquee matchup of top-10 teams on Friday night, with first service at the UW Field House at 8 p.m.
After a 3-0 sweep of the No. 10 Purdue Boilermakers, the Badgers are looking to pull off a big upset on Saturday, and they’re playing their best volleyball of late.
Wisconsin is currently on a nine-game win streak, seven of which have come via sweep, as their record is currently 15-4. Additionally, they are 9-1 in the conference, with their only loss coming in a close 3-2 game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
They face a 20-1 Nebraska team that has posted 17 straight wins, leading to a 10-0 conference record thus far.
The Cornhuskers’ only loss was a 3-0 sweep against the SMU Mustangs earlier this season, but they have been on a tear since then, with 13 of those 17 wins coming via sweep.
Can the Badgers continue their recent winning streak against a tough opponent Friday afternoon?
