The #2 ranked Terriers are in Wisconsin for a two-game series with the Badgers, marking the
first time BU has played Wisconsin in Madison since Jan. 6, 1989. The Badgers are currently 2-11-1 but blanked
Michigan Tech in their last outing.
The games will be played in the Kohl Center, which BU last visited in 2002 when it won the Icebreaker Invitational tournament, but did not play the Badgers. Game time each night is 8 p.m. ET. See links below for online viewing options.
Last
season, BU, ranked #15 at the time, defeated Wisconsin at Agganis Arena, by a 7-3
margin with Cason Hohmann (photo) leading the way with four points (1G, 3A).
Wisconsin’s top scorers are sophomore Grant Besse (8 points) and Morgan Zulnick (7). Senior goalie Joe Rumpel has a 3.17 GAA and a .904 save percentage.

teams have met 16 times with BU holding a 10-6-0 edge. The first meeting was in
the 1972 NCAA semifinals where John Danby’s hat trick powered the Terriers to a
4-1
win.

Thanks
to the blog reader who pointed out that we missed last Saturday’s NTDP U18 game when
2015 recruit Charlie McAvoy scored his third goal of the season in a 7-2 loss
to North Dakota.
