UW and Purdue last met in 2013 when Purdue scored a 22-14 win.
This year’s dual is slated for a 5 p.m. start in West Lafayette.

Illinois’ Isaiah Martinez, a two-time NCAA champion at 157 pounds, is ranked No.1.
Non-conference schedule updated
When the Badgers released their original schedule back in June, there was an open slot on Nov. 18. UW was set to take on host Duke at 6 p.m. followed by a match with an opponent that was to be determined at 8 p.m. Reportedly unable to find a suitor, Wisconsin removed the open slot from its 2016-17 slate.
