Wisconsin could appear two more times on the BTN throughout the season. If the Badgers make it to the semifinals and the finals of the Midlands Classic on Tuesday, Dec. 30, they will air live on the Big Ten Network. The classic begins Dec. 29 in Evanston, Ill., but the Big Ten Network will just carry the semifinals and finals beginning at 7 p.m.
The Big Ten Network will also provide coverage of the 2009 Big Ten Championships, beginning on Sunday, March 8. The championships begin Saturday, March 7, in University Park, Pa., and the network will be there Sunday to showcase the second day. Times for coverage of the 2009 Big Ten Championships are still TBA.
Badger fans can get their first look at the 2008-09 team by coming out to the UW Field House Saturday, Nov. 1, for the annual intra-squad scrimmage. The scrimmage begins at 5:30 p.m. but before that, high school coaches from the area are encouraged to come out for a free coaches clinic, beginning at noon.
Wisconsin's first home match of the season will take place much earlier than last year and will be in a different venue than usual. Mark your calendars for Friday, Nov. 21 when Iowa State comes to town for a 7 p.m. bout on the main floor of the Kohl Center.
Be sure to check back to UWBadgers.com regularly for updates on the Badger wrestling team.
