Badgers Miss

The Big 10 tournament championship turned out to be just what the big 10 critics wanted, a horrible game that closely resembled a big 10 football game. 2 teams struggling to make a basket, going 5-6 minute stretches without scoring, fumbling the ball, throwing it away, etc. It was disgusting and Ohio State found a way to score more often than Bucky so they won. What a way for the Badgers to get ready for the ncaa tourney.

I didn't want them to get a #1 seed anyway. But I did want them to win. My ideal scenario would have been to thump Ohio State then get robbed with a 2 seed. That would have given them some extra incentive to prove the critics wrong. Now I'm not even sure they deserve a 2 seed. Losing 3 of their final 6 games is not how they wanted to finish the season. We'll see if they can step it up come Friday against Texas A&M CC.

I continued my horrid bowling Saturday night with a whopping 514 series. I'm fading down the stretch, the season can't end early enough for me. I think bowling 3 days a week for a couple months really wore me out and took away any desire I had to continue this late in the season. Luckily I'll get the entire week off this week to recharge my batteries.

In hockey we won again to run our streak to 8. We're now 13-3-1-1, sitting 1 point behind the first place team, with 2 games left before the playoffs. The top 3 teams playoff for the championship. The incentive to finish first is you get first choice of goalies for the entire playoffs. Just so happens there is one goalie that is far better than the rest. Doesn't look like we'll get him unless someone else can beat the first place team for us. I'm not sure it will matter though, we're averaging 7 goals a game during the streak and we've beaten the first place team twice with an average goalie.
