It has occurred to me how remarkably similar the regular season looks for
the Wisconsin Badgers and the RPI Engineers.  Both teams were consensus top 5
pre-season picks, but stumbled quite a bit during the regular season.  Both
teams feature strong goaltending, although neither Jim Carey nor Neil Little
has probably lived up to the pre-season hoopla.  Both teams managed to sweep
their season-ending series, winning the second game in OT, to grab third place
in their respective conferences.  Both teams had been swept the previous
weekend.
 
Wisconsin won 61.1% of their games, RPI won slightly fewer, 58.6%.  Wisconsin
played in an inarguably tougher conference, but RPI can boast of victories
against 2 of the top 3 teams in the country.
 
Is it karma?
