I didn't hear the game either, but the Madison papers had some more
details:
	- Wisconsin playd probably thjeir worst game of the year.
	  They just weren't with it.
 
	- Ref Bob Ames had a bad night, but that didn't have
	  anything to do with the results. Wisconsin took a
	  *whole bunch* of penalties in the first period, and
	  Coach Sauer said they were all penalties, and stupid
	  for his team to have taken.
 
	- CC was "up" for the game, feeling the need to get
	  revenge for their two losses in Madison.
 
	- Derksen wasn't having a good night, but the game was
	  out of reach when he was replaced. Michelizzi has been
	  wanting more game time, and Sauer had planned on giving
	  him some starts if and when second place was secured...
 
I don't want to make excuses for the team, but I am wondering if having
last week off (after winning the Saturday night game with Minnesota)
hurt them (as having the week off after sweeping Northern Michigan a
few weeks ago seemed to take the edge off when they went to Duluth)
 
Here's hoping the Badgers get their act together tonight...
