It was a marathon. In many of the moments, it seemed like Wisconsin did not have enough air in its lungs or fire in its legs. It definitely seemed like the final 0.2 miles of the 26.2 miles were going to get to them. But, the No. 6 Wisconsin Badgers (15-2 Big Ten, 21-5 overall) crossed the finish line — despite losing a shoe somewhere in that stretch — to take down the No. 16 Minnesota Golden Gophers (10-7, 17-10) in a five-set thriller worthy of that billing (25-21, 12-25, 22-25, 25-20, 20-18) to keep their hopes of a Big Ten conference title alive.
