Nice win vs Bucknell that was heavily favored via Wrestlestat. Zan with a big win over a ranked opponent, Nicolar looked great, Condon with a solid win, Jens filling in for Russo and wrestled well even though undersized. A lot to like about tonight's win.

Great win by Mechler as well. Would have liked to seen Russo go as well as Mulvaney.

That's a good win for the team.  Congratulations to the Badger wrestlers and coaching staff.

You haters may want to recall from previous post that I was excited about Zan. Does Bono and Reader get any credit for him?
