I also think they got seeded into THE toughest quarter of the bracket.  They start off today at 4:30 against the 2023 NCAA Champs Quinnipiac. The Bobcats finished at 26-9-2, with 7 0f their 9 losses being 1 goal games, 6 of them in OT.  If somehow they get past the Bobcats, they will most likely face BC (Boston College), a team that has been ranked #1 in the country for most of the year.It's a Great Day For Hockey, but will it end up being a GREAT year for the Hockey Badgers?Tune in at 4:30 Central Time on ESNPNews today, to find out which direction it is headed in.</blockquote>
