After a crushing five-set loss against Nebraska in October, Badger fans had their calendars circled for Nov. 24 at the Field House as a potential Big Ten title decider and chance for revenge.
Instead, the Wisconsin Badgers (16-3 Big Ten, 25-3 overall) struggled down the stretch, losing two of three matches and giving Nebraska the chance to win its first Big Ten title since 2017 and keep an undefeated season.
Although spoiling Nebraska’s loss column was not in the discussion pre-match, setter MJ Hammill looking back at that loss, there was more that could be done.
