Recap of a 6-1 win and also a preview of Wisconsin Sunday with senior day. Celebration will include recognition of the careers of Pollannen and Hugo DiFeo.
It is Sad to see di feo on the list but I'm also grateful that Torp has not yet decided to forego his last year for a shot at the pro tour.

Bucks travel to nw and Illinois to close the B1g regular season. For the record bucks only need 1 win either nw or Illinois to claim an outright championship because 2nd place teams all have 2 losses. It will be a tough assignment on the road but Would love to see OSU sweep and finish strong in prep for the tournament.
Preview from the official site.

Bucks fall behind at rival #25 Illinois 0-3,
a win would cap an undefeated b1g season
Drop dubs point , joyce and Torp fall in straight sets.
Then things start to turn around with wins by Difeo, seelig, and pollannen to even things at 3-3.
Match rests on freshman wolf, vs. Veteran Aaron Hitzlik.
J J drops first set in a breaker, wins the 2nd set 6-4. Final set goes to get another breaker.
This time Wolf prevails with a gutsy 7-1 breaker and Bucks hang a 4-3 win on the 2nd best b1g team and are now crowned as both undisputed and undefeated 2017 B1G champs.
