MADISON, Wis. — If there’s a perfect time to turn up the heat and start hitting their stride, the time is now for the Badgers. Finding its groove headed into the final duals of the season, Wisconsin picked up wins over both Purdue and No. 14 Michigan this past weekend. The Badgers will close out the season with home duals against Michigan State on Friday and Central Michigan on Sunday.

The Badgers’ 5-5 dual record belies the team’s strength and skill this season. Consider this: All five of Wisconsin’s losses came at the hands of top-15 teams, while four of the five were to top-10 teams and three were to top-five. The Badgers performed well in each dual and have battled with some of the nation’s top wrestlers.
