And now we get the game I dread every year. In a series that was once relatively close between Purdue and Wisconsin the Badgers have blown it open. They have now won 11 straight dating back to Purdue’s win in Madison in 2003. That was the last time Purdue finished with a better record than the Badgers, too. No team in the Big Ten has a longer winning streak over Purdue:
