Badgers news: Game Thread vs. No. 2 Nebraska Cornhuskers

When it comes to fixtures circled on the calendar, Friday's game is definitely on that list. The No. 7 Wisconsin Badgers host the No. 2 Nebraska Cornhuskers in a big game between top-10 teams on Friday night, with first serve scheduled for 8 p.m. at UW Field House.

Coming off a 3-0 win over the No. 10 Purdue Boilermakers, the Badgers are looking to pull off a big upset on Saturday and have been playing their best volleyball in recent memory.

Wisconsin is currently on a nine-game winning streak, including seven by sweep, and its current record is 15-4. They are also 9-1 in the conference, with their only loss coming in a close 3-2 game against the Minnesota Golden Gophers.

They face a 20-1 Nebraska team that has won 17 straight, resulting in a conference record of 10-0 so far.

The Cornhuskers' only loss was a 3-0 loss to the SMU Mustangs earlier in the season, but they have been miserable since then, with 13 of those 17 wins coming by sweep.

Can the Badgers continue their recent winning streak against a tough opponent on Friday afternoon?
