Almost a month ago, the Wisconsin Badgers were staring down a sweep to the Florida Gators as they were down 2-0 on the road before conference play started.
Since that stunning reverse sweep on Sept. 17, the Badgers (9-0 Big Ten, 18-0 overall) have been perfect, winning 30 straight sets including nine straight wins to start off conference play — this time 3-0 (25-22, 25-15, 25-18) against the Ohio State Buckeyes (4-5, 7-11) — setting up a huge weekend clash against the Nebraska Cornhuskers.
In front of a rowdy, white-out crowd at the Wisconsin Field House, the Badgers overcame a slight struggle at the outset to rout the Buckeyes.
