The No. 17 Wisconsin Badgers Wrestling program came up short vs No. 6 Nebraska Cornhuskers 28–9 on Sunday at the UW Field House. Coach Bono asked after the match gave his blunt – yet direct assessment.
“The fight is there, the effort is there, our young guys are getting better, ’33 (133 pounds) is getting better, heavyweight (285 pounds) is getting better. Liegel was in a dogfight, you know, this is where we are.
Our guys that were supposed to win went out and won, and our guys that weren’t supposed to win battled hard, and we almost had a few we that shouldn’t have won.
