The Badgers have a big home matchup on Wednesday in a crucial week for the program.
The No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers have a major week ahead of them, and that starts with a matchup against the No. 16 Minnesota Golden Gophers on Wednesday, as they look to continue their recent five-match win streak against a rival opponent.
Coming off a 3-1 win over the UCLA Bruins, the Badgers, standing at 20-5, have been on a roll recently, as they had swept four straight opponents prior to Saturday as a part of their five-match win streak.
Wisconsin is starting to peak at the right time, as they’ve won 14 of their last 15 matchup, which includes a sweep over the No. 3 Penn State Nittany Lions, as well as four other ranked wins.
Interestingly enough, their loss before the hot streak came to the Gophers in a 3-2 thriller on the road, which marked a rough point in the Badgers season.
Now, the tides have turned as Wisconsin has turned things up recently. But, it won’t be easy as they face a Minnesota team that stands at 17-9, beating the Michigan Wolverines 3-1 on Sunday after losing three straight matchups.
The Gophers haven’t fared well against ranked opponents this year, but they do have the advantage over the Badgers in the head-to-head, which Wisconsin will look to take back on Wednesday.
Can the Badgers continue their recent winning streak against a tough opponent on Wednesday eveningg?
