Wrestling in primetime on national television is becoming commonplace for Ohio State's wrestling program, as the Buckeyes wrestle in their second primetime dual of the month Friday night in Madison. The No. 4 Buckeyes square off against the No. 8 Wisconsin Badgers in the UW Field House at 9 p.m. on the Big Ten Network.
The Badgers are feeling their oats after dumping then-No. 2 Nebraska 25-18 just five days past. Ohio State's last outing was a 22-13 drubbing of then-No. 24 Rutgers back home in the Covelli Center.
Both teams field a half-dozen ranked combatants and a rich history of outstanding wrestling tradition.
