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.
