Brian Butch is out 4 to 6 weeks. A quick recovery, then, gets him into some Final Four matchups. A slow recovery might have him ready for the national title game, or could keep him out of the season completely. What a rough break, not for the Badgers, but for him. You work so hard to be part of a high-achieving team ... and then this. I feel for you, Brian. I really do.
The hockey team got swept at Michigan Tech. All that buildup from a couple weekends ago is gone now. Hopefully they can close out the regular season in graceful fashion this weekend when they visit Minnesota-Duluth.
Big Ten Wonk thinks that Ohio State is overachieving. Their raw talent does indeed make them a prime candidate to be that 1-seed or 2-seed that doesn't make the Sweet 16.
The Sports Frog watched the OSU game and (surprise!) takes issue with something Billy Packer said!
The Wisconsin Sports Bar, with no trace of sour grapes, ranks the reasons why the Badgers lost to the Buckeyes:
1. Luck
2. They were on the road.
3. {An injury}
4. Home court officiating, again. Had the Badgers enjoyed their normal foul-shooting advantage they would have won.
5. Stupidity. How did they not get the ball at half court for the final play?
6. Bad free throw shooting. Kammron Taylor, you could have won the game.
Also, guys ... they got outplayed by one of the best teams in the nation. Just sayin'.

Finally, why couldn't Drew Neitzel have caught the flu a week earlier than he did?

But OSU did not play well. The game was Wisco's for the taking. Had OSU put together a good effort I wood have given them more credit.
