Sweet Sixteen...Not So Sweet
The remarkable season for the Wisconsin men's tennis team is over after losing to Ohio State on Friday.
The match which was originally scheduled to be played outside was moved indoors because of rain, but apparently Bucky left his tennis skills outside too. The fourth seeded Buckeyes cruised over the Badgers 4-0 to send Wisconsin back to Madison.
The only match that the Badgers were able to win was a doubles when Patrick Pohlmann and Mike Dierberger defeated their Buckeye counterparts.
The loss marks the 20th consecutive time that the Badgers have fallen to the boys from Columbus, and the third defeat at the hands of the Buckeyes this season.
While the team will head back to Madison there will still be two Badgers competing for a national title. Moritz Baumann and Marek Michalika will both compete in the singles and doubles part of the national tournament which will begin on Wednesday.
