No. 15 Wisconsin is swinging through Value City Arena on Wednesday, providing the Buckeyes with their first ranked test in conference play. The Badgers stand at 11-3 on the season and enter on a four-game winning streak.
Ohio State’s record may be one win better, but it’s taken some impressive squads to beat the Badgers this year. Wisconsin’s three defeats are at the hands of No. 5 Tennessee, No. 8 Arizona and Providence, who received votes in this week’s AP Poll.
Wisconsin also holds a top-15 win over No. 11 Marquette.
"It's probably as deep and as talented a Wisconsin team as we've seen," Holtmann said.
