Wrestling: Ridge Lovett Wins Big Ten Title, Huskers Place Third as Team

In the ultra-competitive Big Ten Conference, the Huskers put together a strong performance in their conference tournament, setting them up for a nice run at NCAAs.

If you missed our recap of Saturday’s action and how we got here, check it out here.

For the second year in a row, Nebraska crowned a Big Ten Champion when top-seeded Ridge Lovett earned the win at 149 pounds. Last year, it was Silas Allred who won conference gold. Before that, Nebraska went seven seasons without a conference champion. This year, Nebraska saw nine of its 10 starters qualify for the NCAA Championships with just Bubba Wilson at 174 needing an at-large bid.
