Carol's right (except that the tourney was in Milwaukee) about the
Badger-Gopher WCHA semi last year being at 2 p.m.  I don't think the WCHA
should really change game times for the purpose of increasing revenue.  The
UW-UM game last year got 12,000 at the Bradley Center, and I'm not sure it
would have drawn more if it was at night.  Maybe the case would be different
in MN though.
