No. 3 Wisconsin Badgers vs. No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats: Game Thread

The Badgers have a trip to the Final Four on the line on Thursday.

The No. 3 Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the No. 1 Kentucky Wildcats in the Final Four on Thursday, with first serve set for 8:00 P.M. on ESPN.

The Badgers have gone on an incredible run so far in the NCAA Tournament, most recently beating the No. 2 seed Stanford Cardinal and the No. 1 seed Texas Longhorns 3-1 to advance to Kansas City.

Star Mimi Colyer has been on a tear, recording 50 kills in the two wins, including a career-high 27 kills against Stanford. Carter Booth has also come up huge, recording a career-high 14 kills against Stanford as well.

But, the Badgers will be facing a Kentucky team that has won 26 straight matches. They went 29-2 this season, including wins over Texas, Texas A&M, and Louisville.

The Wildcats have dropped only one set in the tournament in the Second Round against UCLA, winning that one 3-1. Apart from that, Kentucky has swept its other three opponents, including most recently against the Creighton Blue Jays.

The winner of Thursday’s matchup will face the Texas A&M Aggies, who swept Pitt on Thursday as well.
