    Pritzlaff says there is "little doubt" Howe will be back

    Wisconsin's Andrew Howe, an NCAA champion last season at 165 pounds, will be sidelined because of a knee injury he suffered in a dual meet against Illinois on Jan. 16. However, according to Wisconsin associate head coach Donny Pritzlaff, there is "little doubt" Howe will be back on the mat for the Badgers.

    "He has not had season ending surgery as it has been rumored," Pritzlaff informed InterMat. "We are progressing him back into the lineup as quickly as we can. He has sustained a significant injury, but there is little doubt he will return."

    Howe is 17-2 this season. He won the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational on Dec. 4. Aside from the injury default loss he suffered against Illinois, his only other loss came in the finals of the Midlands Championships to 2009 NCAA champion Jordan Burroughs of Nebraska. Prior to that loss, Howe had a 51-match winning streak dating back to 2009. He is also a U.S. Open freestyle champion and is currently ranked No. 2 in the U.S. at 74 kg.
