No. 1 Nebraska Hasn’t Dropped a Set Since September 20th, and No. 7 Wisconsin Is Walking Into a Whole New World

The No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers are rolling into Saturday night riding a huge seven-game win streak, but they are about to face an absolute monster: the unbeaten No. 1 Nebraska Cornhuskers, on the road, with first serve at 6:00 p.m. on FOX. This isn’t just another tough matchup; this is the biggest game of the season so far for the Badgers.

Wisconsin’s Hot Streak Faces Its Ultimate Test

Wisconsin’s been absolutely crushing it in conference play, rocking a 5-0 record. They’ve already knocked off some seriously good teams, too, with wins against No. 24 Illinois, No. 20 Minnesota, No. 15 Indiana, No. 10 Purdue, and No. 20 Oregon. They’ve definitely played a bunch of ranked opponents this season, showing they can hang. But let’s be real, none of those challenges are going to compare to what they’re walking into tonight against the Huskers. They’ve shown grit, but this is a whole different beast.

The Huskers Are Unbeaten For a Reason, And It’s Scary

Nebraska isn’t just unbeaten; they’re dominant. This team hasn’t dropped a single set since September 20th. Think about that for a second! They just swept Indiana on the road, a team Wisconsin also beat. The Huskers have totally dominated teams all year long, and their record speaks for itself. They haven’t gone to a fifth set even once, and they’ve only played in a fourth set twice all season. That includes a crazy impressive sweep of No. 2 Texas. While Nebraska hasn’t faced as many ranked teams as Wisconsin, they’ve absolutely crushed everyone in front of them. Wisconsin’s young talent is going to need to bring their A-game against a more experienced Nebraska squad if they want to stand out against the best team in the country.

This isn’t just another ranked opponent for the Badgers; it’s the biggest game of their season so far. Can their young talent step up and hang with the best team in the country? We’re about to find out.
