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... --david -------- david parter university of wisconsin -- madison [log in to unmask] computer sciences department
