MADISON, Wis. -- The Wisconsin men's tennis team heads east this weekend to open its Big Ten Conference slate against Michigan at 5 p.m. (CT) on Friday and Michigan State at 11 a.m. (CT) on Sunday.
 
1. On the Road Again: Wisconsin will hit the road for the second consecutive outing after falling at Illinois in its first dual match of the season, a non-conference meeting of the teams, on Feb. 9. Junior Leonard Soha scored a 6-4, 6-1 upset over No. 15-ranked Alex Brown to pace UW in the dual and now owns a 4-0 singles mark on the year.
 
The Badgers are looking to pick their first conference win of the season as they begin a 16-match Big Ten season that runs through April 18.

3. Scouting Michigan State: Wisconsin is looking to maintain its winning streak against the Spartans after defeating them 6-1 in the 2019 season. Last weekend, Michigan State fell to No. 8 Ohio State, 4-0, in its season opener.
